Q1: Why do scientist use models?

A.) Scientist use models to learn about things that are too small, too late, or too complex to observe directly.

In Other Words, The User "SugarPie" is Right, 100%

there is not 20 questions only 6 but thanks sugar pie for the answers!

I would go with B on the first. On the second, looking at an atlas map, pick a location, and ask what happens if one goes West? You can predict from that. I count maps as models.

What model does a bicycle demonstrate?

Thanks I HATE MS. SUE I got 100%

The second one is kind of a trick question... An atlas is not a model lol. But it contains maps which are considered models. It should be on the list as Maps. Not a book.

Thanks_SugarPie!!!
