Using Models to Teach Science

[...]we can use a model to help students predict what kind of cloud would be around their location at any given time. [...]it can be seen that there are many ways in which students can draw on a range of tools in their attempts to explain what they observed with models. [...]the fourth stage is pressing for evidence-based explanations. [...]this evidence-based explanation can be assessed with a rubric similar to the one created and shared from the Model-Based Inquiry website (See "On the web").
