Big Ideas
  • Models help us understand and explain scientific ideas and real-world problems.
  • Creating and using models or prototypes leads to better solutions for questions and challenges.
Essential Questions
  • What is a model, and why do scientists and engineers use them?
  • How can making a model help us solve a problem or answer a question?
  • When would we need to create a prototype instead of just explaining our ideas with words?
  • How do models make it easier to understand difficult concepts or processes?
  • What steps do we follow when designing a model or prototype for a problem?
