- used to describe & explain the natural
world based on the available information

- represents a part of an object or a
SCIENTIFIC MODELS
SCIENTIFIC MODELS -are only
representations of the actual objects
presented
- can take the forms of a drawing, a
prototype, a diagram, a physical
entities
- represents sets of scientific ideas
- scientists developed models to
visualize & explain phenomena in
3 TYPES OF SCIENTIFIC MODELS
1. PHYSICAL MODELS - can be used to
predict changes similar to what
actually happens in real life
- in form of tangible objects
- shows how the different parts
interact in relation to their functions

2. MATHEMATICAL MODELS - makes use
of numbers, equations and other
quantitative data.
 COMPUTER MODEL are created
using software

3. CONCEPTUAL MODELS/ IDEA MODELS
-represents ideas, behavior, and
comparisons
- several concepts in Science make

PURPOSE OF SCIENTIFIC
MODELS:
 Scientific models are used to explain
and predict the behaviour of real
objects or systems and are used in a
variety of scientific disciplines, ranging
from physics and chemistry to ecology
and the Earth sciences.
 Models can help scientists
communicate their ideas, understand
SCIENTIFIC MODELS

LIMITATIONS OF SCIENTIFIC MODELS:


 Since simplicity is an important
factor, the model sometimes
disregard accuracy.
 Such is also the case when
approximations or assumptions are
don.
 The presence of boundaries may
also affect the ability of the model
