Big Ideas
- Models are important tools for representing and understanding complex scientific concepts and engineering problems.
- Developing and using models helps make sense of how systems, processes, and solutions work.
Essential Questions
- What makes a model effective for representing scientific phenomena, systems, or processes?
- How can models be used to solve engineering problems or explain solutions?
- In what ways do models help us understand complex ideas in science and engineering?
- How can we develop or improve models to better represent the systems or problems we are studying?
- What are the limitations of using models to represent real-world phenomena?
