Modeling is an important part of a scientist's work. As students dig deeper into understanding how they see things, it will be important that they can represent and explain this phenomenon. Today we had a discussion about what makes a model, as well as thinking about the model that Mrs. Brinza developed to show how the light is visible from a light bulb. We worked through identifying strengths and weaknesses of her model, which used playdoh to represent the light source and toy cars as the rays of light.
Our next steps will be to develop our very own models of how we see an object!
