Question

How can scientific modeling help us understand a natural phenomenon?

Answer 1

• Scientific models are representations of objects, systems or events and are used as tools for understanding the natural world. Models use familiar objects to represent unfamiliar things. Models can help you visualize, or picture in your mind, something that is difficult to see or understand.
• Models are representations of scientific phenomena that may be difficult to study in the real world. They may be visual representations, explanations, or mathematical models, which apply mathematical formulas to explain changes in a system.
