Developing and Using Models - Level 4 - Modeling Systems with Evidence

In this video Paul Andersen shows you how to develop and use models in a mini-lesson on modeling systems with evidence. Two examples are included in the video and two additional examples are included in the linked thinking slides.

TERMS
Components - a part of a larger whole
Description - a given account in words
Develop - to build or create
Evidence - anything presented to support a claim
Limitations - the constraints or limits of something
Model - a simplified representation of a system
Relationship - a set of components (e.g. things) working together
System - a set of components (e.g. things) working together

This progression is based on the Science and Engineering Practices elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education. “Develop a model based on evidence to illustrate the relationships between systems or between components of a system.”
