Modeling Activities for Students In education, we need to teach the principles of computer modeling. Here are some activities you can do . . . . 1 If students are old enough to work with spreadsheets and user-defined functions, you can have a contest to see who could develop the most sophisticated number model. 2
A Modeling Investigation What is the dependent variable we are trying to model? What are some independent variables that might impact the amount of water that flows out of the square reservoir?
