Explain why professionals may use models as logical representations of physical, mathematical, or logical systems or processes.

Unpacked Content

Knowledge

Students know:

it can difficult, expensive, or impossible to create a system or process true
to
scale, therefore professionals often use models or simulations to test theories, plans, or designs.

Skills

Students are able to:

identify reasons a system or process cannot be easily replicated.
identify situations in which it is best to use a model or simulation.

Understanding

Students understand that:

models and/or simulations are used to save time and money during testing phases of projects.

COS Examples

Example: Students will discuss why an engineer may build a model of a building before actually constructing the building.
