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
