Big Ideas
- Models help us understand, represent, and explain real-world phenomena, objects, and processes.
- Designing and using prototypes are key steps in finding and communicating solutions to problems.
Essential Questions
- What is a model, and why do scientists and engineers use them?
- How can creating or using a model help us understand something better?
- In what ways can models and prototypes solve problems?
- What are the steps for developing a model or prototype to represent or solve something?
- How does a model represent real things, and what are its limitations?
