to better observe patterns and relationships

The correct answer is: to better observe patterns and relationships. Constructing scale models allows students and scientists to study and analyze natural phenomena in a controlled and detailed manner. By creating a scaled-down version of the phenomenon, it becomes easier to observe and understand patterns and relationships that may not be as apparent in the actual, full-size version.
