Models • A model is something that can be used to enhance our understanding because it shares certain characteristics with the object of study. By definition it also differs in many ways from what it models. If it were not different, it would not be a model; it would be the “real thing.”
Why use models at all? We may decide to use a model because the real object of study is too big, too small, too complex, to hard to find, to isolate, or to manipulate, or for some other reason is difficult to study on its own
Choose models carefully. • Know why you chose a model; think about its strengths and weaknesses as a model. • Specifically discuss these points with students. • Be open to new models
Why are we using a model instead of directly studying the real thing? • What characteristics does this model share with the real object of study? • In what ways is it different? • What other models could we use? • Is this a good model for us to use? Why or why not?
What is a model? • What kinds of models are there? • What do all models have in common? • How can models be used in science and mathematics? • What should scientists and other scholars remember when using models?
