Today’s Lesson START TOPIC 1: SYSTEMS LO: Outline the concept and characteristics of systems. Syllabus Link: Resource: Key Terminology Glossary
Key Terminology Glossary Use text-book, online resources etc… (NOT dictionary.com!!!) to begin to define your key terms. Aim for the first 10: I don’t expect them all to be done. I have a task for you to do in 15 minutes that will test your understanding of one of the early key terms.
