  5. VENN DIAGRAM: SYSTEMS

  6. Challenge Activity Systems

  7. HOmework • Based on things we talked about in class, write down your own examples of an open and a closed system and explain or illustrate why it is an example of an open or closed system. These examples needs to be different than ones we covered in class [For Homework grade:+1 for each example, +1.5 for each explanation… total of 5 possible] • HW questions Worksheet #1: Applications of ES, Spheres and Systems
