Let us unwrap! Present your item first by simply using words to describe it. Show the visual representation you have created to your seatmate.  Questions: Were you able to visualize the object described by your seatmate? Did your visual representation match the actual model made by your seatmate? Questions: In describing your items, which one is much easier for the other person to visualize how your items looked? In Science, what did the scientists use to create a visual representation of scientific concepts? Use of Models Encounter Objectives Explain the purpose and importance of scientific models in representing phenomena that cannot be directly observed; Create a simple scientific model to illustrate a phenomenon that cannot be directly observed; and Appreciate the value of scientific models in advancing scientific knowledge and solving real-world problems. What are models? Models are representations to describe an object or event used to picture complex ideas, phenomenon, behaviors, and even processes in a logical way Types of Models Physical Model Physical exact representation of the object in miniature scale or even upscale for those that are very small can be used to replicate certain physical conditions to predict changes similar to what actually happens in real life Mathematical Model Mathematical makes use of numbers, equations, and other quantitative data simple graphs are mathematical models Conceptual Model Conceptual represents ideas, behavior, and comparisons several science concepts make use of these models to explain scientific concepts  Scientific models are In representation of an object, a complex system, behavior, and summary structures based on observations gathered or known information. The three types of scientific models are: physical, mathematical, and conceptual models.  Physical model - is the exact In representation of the object in miniature upscale. summary Mathematical model - makes use of numbers, equations, and other quantitative data. Conceptual model - represents ideas, behaviors, and comparisons. Questions? Let us apply!  As a group, think of a phenomena, behavior, idea, or concept that you are interested in. If given a chance to create a model of what you have chosen, create a visual representation of how it would look like. After ten minutes, present your work to the class. 10 Minute Groovy Themed Timer This 10 minute timer counts down silently and ends with a funky sound to alert you when the time is done.

As a student, why do you think using these models are important? What is the significance of using these models to your life? 10 Minute Groovy Themed Timer This 10 minute timer counts down silently and ends with a funky sound to alert you when the time is done.
