  1. Topic 1 - Systems IB Topics 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3

  2. Systems • A system is an assemblage of parts and the relationships between them that constitute a whole

  3. System Types • Open • Both matter and energy are exchanged across the boundaries of the system

  4. System Types • Closed • Energy is exchanged, but no matter is exchanged

  5. System Types • Isolated • No matter or energy is exchanged

  6. System Components • Systems consist of: • Storages • Of matter and energy • Flows • Inputs into, outputs out of the system • Processes • Transfer or transform energy or matter

  7. Topic 1 - Energy IB Topic 1.1.4

  8. Energy • Energy exists in multiple forms: • Light • Heat • Chemical • Electrical

  9. 1st Law of Thermodynamics • Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change forms

  10. 1st Law of Thermodynamics (related to ecosystems) • All the energy into a system must equal the energy stored plus energy lost

  11. 2nd Law of Thermodynamics • Energy goes from a concentrated form to a dispersed form • (Useable energy to non-useable energy)

  12. 2nd Law of Thermodynamics (related to ecosystems) • New energy needs to be added to the system

  13. Topic 1 - Equilibria IB Topic 1.1.5

  14. Equilibrium • Static Equilibrium • No input or outputs of matter or energy • No change in the system over time

  15. Equilibrium • Steady-State Equilibrium • Inputs and outputs of matter and energy • System remains stable over time

  16. Stable vs Unstable Equilibrium • Stable • Unstable

  17. Topic 1 - Feedback IB Topic 1.1.6

  18. Feedback • Positive Feedback • A change in the system leads to increased change • The system goes away from equilibrium • Negative Feedback • Changes in the system lead to stability • The system maintains equilibrium

  19. Examples:

  20. Topic 1 – Transfers and Transformations IB Topic 1.1.7

  21. Transfers • Energy and matter move through a system without changing state • Usually involve a change in location

  22. Transformations • The change of energy or matter to a new product • Involve a change of state

  23. Topic 1 – Flows & Storages IB Topic 1.1.8

  24. Flows • Inputs and Outputs • Energy and matter moving from one place to another

  25. Storages (stocks) • Matter and energy is stored in stocks or resevoirs

  26. Topic 1 - Models IB Topic 1.1.10

  27. Models • A model can be any representation of a real system. • Ex: • Aquarium • Diagram • Computer Model

  28. Models • Advantages • Disadvantages
