What are 2 examples of scientific model?

Answer 1

1. The solar system model of the atom

This model has the nucleus at the centre of the atom like the sun is in the solar system, and the electrons orbiting the nucleus like planets. This is useful for visualising electron energy levels, but it isn't what the atom actually looks like.

2. The computer model of human brain function

This model compares the working of the human brain to a computer, where RAM is short term memory and the hard drives are long term memory. It also covers the senses, as they are like input into a computer. Information from the senses are also processed, like how a computer program will interpret data, and responses are like the computer's output. This is a very simplified description of the brain's function, but it works on some levels.

3. A diagram

This model is like a map but actually is not. For example you could choose one on chimpanzees. You would draw where the chimpanzee goes, or how far they travel.
