MODEL-IT
Supporting scientific
modeling and simulation
Model - It
allows students to easily build,
test, and evaluate qualitative models. Students can create models that represent their
theories about the scientific phenomena being investigated and run simulations in order to
test their models.
First, students plan their models by writing down ideas and translating these ideas
into objects and factors. The objects in a model are displayed using photo-realistic
graphics that students can create themselves. Next, they build relationship links between
the factors, using a variety of representations from qualitative to quantitative. A
graphical view of each relationship is also provided.
Once relationships are built students can test their models to see the results. For
data visualization Model - It provides meters and graphs to view factor values. While a
model is running students can change the values of factors and immediately see the
effects.
