What Are Systems?

A system is a group of parts that work together. Just like a team, each part has a job to do. When all the parts do their job, the system works well!

Types of Systems

There are many types of systems around us!

• Natural Systems: These are systems that we find in nature. For example, a forest is a natural system. It has trees, animals, and air that all work together.
• Man-Made Systems: These systems are created by people. For example, a school is a man-made system. It has teachers, students, and classrooms.

How do Systems Work?

Systems have different parts. Each part has a role. In a school system, teachers help students learn. Kids ask questions. All these roles help the school work well.

Examples of Systems

The Water System is a good example. Water travels from rivers and lakes to our homes. This system cleans water and brings it to us.

Another example is the Transportation System. Cars, buses, and bicycles help people get from one place to another.

Why Are Systems Important?

Systems help us understand how things work. They let us see how the parts fit together. When we learn about systems, we can solve problems better!

Think about how you play soccer. The whole team needs to work together to score points. In the same way, every system needs all its parts to work well.

Find Your Systems!

Now, look around you! Can you find different systems? Maybe you’ll see a kitchen system where the stove, fridge, and people work together to make dinner! Or a home system where family members help each other.
