| What are you looking for in the models? | Benefits and limitations |
| Models | representations of objects or systems |
| Model types | Physical, 2D, 3D, Graphs, Diagrams, Mathematical Formulas, Computer Simulations, Manipulative |
| Model Limitation | Does not include all of the variables |
| Fields of Science | Physical (physics & chemistry), Biology, Geology, Astronomy |
| Physics (Physical Science) | Study of energy and motion |
| chemistry (Physical Science) | The study of the properties of matter and how matter changes |
| Biology | The study of life |
| Geology | the study of the origin, history, and structure of Earth |
| Technology | Application of science to help people |
| Model Limitation 1 | 1 The pieces do not show the interactions amongst the parts |
| Model Limitation 2 | 2 The objects are not to scale with one another within the model |
| Model Limitation 3 | 3 Only certain aspects of the real object can be tested/examined |
| Model Benefits 1 | 1 The real life object is too large to see in its entirety |
| Model Benefits 2 | 2 An object is too small to see with the naked eye |
| Model Benefits 3 | 3 The event happens too quickly to be observed by humans |
| Model Benefits 4 | 4 The event occurs too slowly to be observed in a human life |
| Examples of Technology | Pencil, Vaccine, Computers, Calculators, Microscopes, Telescopes, Beakers |
| astronomy | The study of the moon, stars, and other objects in space and how they interact |
