Not a representation 3D smaller items, computer simulations, diagrams, pictures. For tracking energy and matter flows so that we can better understand the concept To help us understand systems better by allowing us to study it, perform experiments, etc on a smaller version of the system Autotroph population Predator population When matter can enter and leave a system. When matter or energy moves inside of a system What a system is designed for...it's job/role Prey population When energy moves from one system (object) to another system (object) When matter cannot enter or leave a system, but energy can enter/leave Energy can change from one type of energy to another type of energy when it interacts with a system Systems effect other systems. Objects and energy will leave one system and enter another system. Representation of the actual system
