Assignment Description
1. Explain the three ways models help us (are tools) in science:
2. List an example of each of the four types of models: Physical Models: Tangible, scaled-down or scaled-up replicas of objects or systems.
Conceptual Models: Abstract representations using ideas, diagrams, or flowcharts to explain complex systems or processes.
Mathematical Models: Use equations and formulas to describe relationships between variables, helping predict outcomes.
Computer (Simulation) Models: Use computer programs to run complex simulations, allowing scientists to test hypotheses and visualize phenomena.
