Describe a scientific model

Answer 1

They allow you to determine possible outcomes without having to set up large and costly experiments. In the pharmaceutical industry for example they use animal tissue models to test drugs on to give them some idea what the drug will do to people before they set up actual clinical trials costing millions to try it out on people. If it kills the tissue cultures or has no effect then they need to do more research before trying it on people.

In ballistics if they came up with a new design of rocket they could build a smaller scale model to see if it flies the way they want it too, if the extra flets make it too bottom heavy etc.

In chemistry it's useful to use molecular models to look at bonding patterns before attempting to make a new compound.

Answer 2

A scientific model is a model used in science to represent things that are far too large or small to study in depth. A scientific model can be used to represent things like space, atoms, or a volcano.

Answer 3

First I would like to explain about models and objective truth. The qualitative and quantitive scientific models are mans way to study nature and to discover its underlying laws. Yet, the models do not re[present the final truth.A scientific model is a physical, mathematical, or logical representaion of a complex system of entity or phenomenon with the particular representaion being an aid to a more objective understanding of what it represents. These representaions are models. There are usually two types of models, quallitive(descriptive) and quantitive (mathematical). the scientific status of models: A model is only an approximation, it is not proof. A good example of a scientific model is the "weather forecast" which is given with the help of models of climate. As we all know the weather forecast is never 100%. A good way to think of a scientific model is that your goal is that you want your model to be simple enough to fit the model to the data, but complicated enough so your data will give you parameters that help you undersatnd the system and design new experiments. I hope that this helped you out.

Answer 4

they are used to refer to a description or a decipition
