4. What is a System?
Think about the pen you may be holding. Does it have parts? Do they work together to do a job? Yes! A pen has the case, the tube that holds the ink, the ink, the ballpoint and it may even have an erasure if it contains erasable ink. If it clicks to open and close it will have a spring and a part to make the point go in and out. All of these parts work together so you can write with the pen. That makes it a system!
So, a system is a group of parts that work together to perform a function. What is a function? The parts of a pen work together so you can write with it. That is its function. A function is the job a system performs.

5. Examples of Systems
What are the names of each part in this system and what function do they perform?
What would happen if the keyboard or mouse stopped working?

6. Examples of Systems
What are the names of each part in this system and what function do they perform?
What would happen if the engine stopped working?

7. Ticket out the Door- “Shout” Out
Think of your own example of something abiotic (non-living) that works together as a system.
What are the parts included in this system and what are their functions?

Possible Answers: Organs- heart, lungs, brain, skin, stomach, intestines, bones
Organ Systems- circulatory, respiratory, nervous, integumentary, digestive…

9. GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES REVIEW
Be in your assigned seat and working on the directions on the board (usually a mindstrecther) before the bell rings.
Bring ALL books and materials to class and take them with you when you leave.
Maximize learning time by staying focused and on task.

11. Levels of Organization Notes Please write TITLE of each slide and the green notes in each box on organizer

12. ATOMS
Smallest part of matter
NON-living

13. Molecules
2 or more bonded atoms
Form compounds
NON-living

14. Macromolecule
Very large complex molecules (polymers) made of a bunch of smaller molecules that are the same (monomers.)
Analogy If you have a pearl necklace. The individual pearls would be the monomer and the necklace would be the polymer.
All living things are made up of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.
NON-living
The macromolecules are mainly made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen but in different ratios. This gives each compound different properties.

15. Ex: nucleus, mitochondria
Organelles
“Tiny organs”
Made of macromolecules
Non-living
Ex: nucleus, mitochondria
