Cross Cutting Concepts
Energy and Matter Changes of energy and matter in a system can be described in terms of energy and matter flows into, out of, and within that system. Systems and Systems Models 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.
