An example of how a scientist might use a model is by moving
the end of a slinky vertically up and down to simulate a wave.
The phenomena that cannot be experienced directly can be
described and explained by an idea, an object, or even a process or a system
and is called a model in science. Both in research as well as when
communicating explanations, models are central to what scientists do.
To explain or predict what may happen in particular
circumstances, one or mode model may be proposed by scientists. From providing a
way of explaining complex data to presenting as a hypothesis, these are
just some of the variety of uses of models.
