Physical Model

A physical model is a representation of an object or system that helps us understand its structure or behavior. It can be a tangible 3D model, like a scaled-down version of a car, or a diagram that illustrates how parts interact, like a flowchart of a river system. In science, physical models simplify complex ideas, making them easier to visualize and study. By using these models, researchers and students can explore concepts and test theories in a more hands-on way, gaining insights that might be difficult to achieve with abstract ideas or numerical data alone.
