A system is a group of parts that can be considered one unit. Storm systems, ecosystems, and our bodies are natural systems. Cars and houses are human-made systems. Choose an example of a system, and analyze the energy flow through the system. Describe in detail how energy enters the system, how energy changes form while in the system, and how energy leaves the system.
