Vance, Devan, and Connor
Today we are going to focus on an article about models.
What Is A Model?
A model is something that represents an object,event or an idea. A model is simpler then the real thing, it does not need every single detail.
Types Of Models
Models do all different things, such as a car model shows how a car reacts without making the real car in testing. This car model is an example of a three-dimensional (3D) model. Another type of model is a diarama. A diarama is a model that shows a scene from an event or place. some other models are globes, maps, and drawings.
Models in Science
You use models in science when the object you're studying is too small or too far away. Some scientists build a model of the planets because they are too far away. You can use models to figure out if something works.
Jeffery the Animal Model
Jeffery is the animal model here and he is a smaller model and or creation of a real sheep.
DNA
DNA is all around your body and its really small like microscopic so thats why scientists use this model.
Planets
Here is a scientific model of the planets in space. We added this content because scientists use this model because the planets are to far away.
Making and Using Models
Some models are better than others in certain experiments. To use models first you have to decide what the model will represent. A terrarium holds a living model of land habitat.
