A system is a group of parts that work t o g e t h e r to performa specific task.These parts can be human-made, like a can opener, or they can benatural, like the solar systemComponentsare the parts that are included inasystem.A car has many components: It has an engine, pistons and cylinders,wheels, a transmission.A car would not function without each of the components workingtogether to accomplish a common goal: transportation.Theprocessis the actions taken by the system that allow it to convertthe input into an output.A garden is a type of system.Humans plant and water flowers in the garden. The plants in thegarden need to utilize sunlight to photosynthesize their food. Theseactions involved in the garden are the processes.Two main types of systems arephysical systems and social(abstract) systems.A physical system is a group of physical parts that work together to perform aspecific task.Physical systems can be made by humans, or they can be found innature.Human-made systems: Mechanical systems, electrical systems, andoptical systemsNatural physical systems: the digestive system, circulatory system,and nervous system, and the solar system.Social system is a group of organisms who join together to accomplish certaintasks.Some social systems are found in nature.

Example: bird flocks, ant colonies, and fish schools.Human social systems: the education system, social workers,healthcare,, law enforcement and a family.W h a t is a system?A system is a group of parts t h a tf u n c t i o n t o g e t h e r to p e r f o r ma specific task.An e x a m p l e of a system is a bicycle.A bike has many parts that work together to perform a specific task- help people to travel fasterthan walking.System can be classified into physical systems or social/ organizational systems.Both have different purposes but play an important role in our daily lifeWhat is a physical system?A physical system that relies on physical parts (nuts, bolts, levers) that perform a function.Physical system can be natural or human-made.Natural systems are systems that happen naturally: body systemsBody systems: a body system is a system in the body that is designed to perform a specificfunction.Examples: digestive system, respiratory system and the nervous system. Each system serves aspecific purpose and is made up of different parts.Mechanical Systems: a mechanical system is a system that uses mechanical principles,forces or movement.Example: a nail gun which uses mechanical energy of pressurized air to help it work.Optical system: anoptical system uses the properties of lightOptical instrument such a microscope or telescope use lenses, mirrors and prismsAn example of an optical system is a camera. A camera uses light energy to take a picture.
