Concepts Definition
Change is a conversion, transformation, or movement from one form, state or value to another. Inquiry into the
concept of change involves understanding and evaluating causes, processes and consequences.
Change
Systems are sets of interacting or interdependent components. Systems provide structure and order in human,
natural and built environments. Systems can be static or dynamic, simple or complex.

Conceptual Understanding
Scientific innovations in Chemistry often depend upon the understanding of the chemical Systems and the balance of chemical
reactions taking into consideration their consequences to health and environment.
