Systems may interact with other systems; they may have sub-systems and be a part of larger complex systems.
Models can be used to represent systems and their interactions—such as inputs, processes and outputs—and energy, matter, and information
flows within systems.
Models are limited in that they only represent certain aspects of the system under study.
Continuity — ability of a system to continue functioning despite disruptions, disturbances, and damages; also refer to persistence through generations.
Interdependence - the dependence of two or more systems on each other

TG: The learners, in the long run and on their own, will be able to create a model that shows how systems work in response to threats within and
among living organisms for survival and sustainability.

EQ: How do systems support the survival and diversity in living organisms?

EU: The interdependence and continuity of systems supports the survival and diversity of living organisms.
