Study Notes

Models

  • Models are representations used to describe an object or event
  • Models help visualize complex ideas, phenomena, behaviors, and processes

Types of Models

  • Physical models: Exact representations of an object in miniature scale for small objects, or upscale for large objects, used to replicate physical conditions
  • Mathematical models: Use numbers, equations, and quantitative data, simple graphs are mathematical models
  • Conceptual models: Represent ideas, behavior, and comparisons, used to explain science concepts

Models in Science

  • Scientific models represent an object, system, behavior, or structure, based on observations or known information
  • Scientific models are helpful for visualizing concepts and phenomena that are difficult to directly observe
  • Creating a scientific model can be a valuable way to learn about a scientific concept
  • Models are an important tool for scientific advancement and solving real-world problems
