Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 5.93 Evaluate the Limits and Uses of Models skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A team is about to use a model to explain a science system to younger students. Which plan best follows the practice of evaluating models?
ARemove all labels so students must guess.
BChoose the model with the most decoration and skip the evidence.
CUse the model without checking because all models are complete.
DState the model purpose, compare it with evidence, identify assumptions and limits, then revise or explain the limits.
Solution & Explanation:A strong model-evaluation plan checks purpose, evidence, assumptions, limits, and possible improvements.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
A school garden system model shows plants, compost, watering cans, students, and sunlight. Students want to predict which bed will grow taller plants. What added information would improve the model most?
AThe favorite colors of the students
BA larger title with no data
CMeasurements of sunlight, water amount, soil conditions, and plant growth for each bed
DA drawing of a planet far from the garden
Solution & Explanation:To use a model for prediction, students need relevant measurements about the variables that affect plant growth.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A student says, "The largest and most detailed model is always the best model." Which response is most scientifically accurate?
AA small model can never be useful.
BThe best model is the one that fits the purpose with useful detail and clear limits.
CThe largest model is always most accurate, even if it answers the wrong question.
DA model with no labels is always best.
Solution & Explanation:A model should be judged by how well it answers the question, not simply by size or amount of detail.
