Cross Cutting Concepts
Structure and Function
*Much of science deals with constructing explanations of how things change and how they remain stable.

System and System Model
*Models can be used to predict the behavior of a system, but these predictions have limited precision and reliability due to the assumptions and approximations inherent in models.
