Scientific Models 3rd Grade Children's Science Book Bold Kids

Scientific models help scientists make predictions about complex systems. They are used to explain phenomena, and to communicate scientific knowledge. There are various ways to build them. Some models are tangible, while others use numbers and ideas. Models can help scientists understand and visualize the universe.
