Types of Models
artificial border surrounding a system to study the system
When matter or energy enters a system
3D smaller items, computer simulations, diagrams, pictures.
When matter or energy moves inside of a system
Systems effect other systems. Objects and energy will leave one system and enter another system.
When matter cannot enter or leave a system, but energy can enter/leave
Piece of a system
For tracking energy and matter flows so that we can better understand the concept
What a system is designed for...it's job/role
When matter or energy leaves a system
A smaller system (something made of two or more parts) within another system.
When energy moves from one system (object) to another system (object)
The system or object under study. Not a representation
Something made of two or more parts working together to perform a function
Energy can change from one type of energy to another type of energy when it interacts with a system
Representation of the actual system
When matter can enter and leave a system.
