Models in Science

Models are representations of an object or system.

Physical Models

Show an example at a reasonable scale. Examples: model airplanes, model solar

system, model of an atom.

Conceptual Model

Explains or summarizes with words Big Bang Model:

12 to 15 billion years ago an event called the big bang sent matter in all directions. This matter eventually formed the galaxies and planets.

Mathematical Models

Uses math to represent the physical world. Simple math models:

Force = Mass x Acceleration E=Mc2

Complex math models: Quantum Mechanics wave function of a particle:

Limits of Models

A model is not exactly the same as the real thing it represents Example: There are many limitations of this

model of the solar system: Can you find some?

Scientific Theories

Theory is an explanation for many hypotheses and observations.  theory of evolution, the theory of relativity, the atomic theory, and the quantum theory

Theories can be changed.

Scientific Laws

A summary of many experimental results and observations.

Only tells you what happens, (not why or how) The law of gravity, Newton's laws of motion, Conservation of mass
