Science Investigators

Modeling is an essential tool in every scientist's
arsenal. Physical models, computer simulations, and written descriptions are
just a few modeling techniques scientists employ to test hypotheses, illustrate
concepts, and refine their ideas. Aligned to the NextGen Science Standards, this
deep-diving series guides readers through the process of making their own models
that relate to key scientific concepts. Readers learn how to evaluate the merits
of their models, make improvements, and communicate what they've learned.
