Computational Thinking in Science and Math
Modeling Components of the Great Lakes System
Use your list of factors in the system to make an initial model of the Great Lakes System and to try and explain the changes in temperature and precipitation. How do you think the factors in the system are interacting to change temperature and precipitation averages in the future?
Use what you have learned from the Modeling Intro activity and discussion to help you develop your initial model. Initial models are intended to show your current thinking, and you will revise your model multiple times as you learn new information throughout the unit.
Scientists are constantly revising their models based on new information they learn. So we work through the same process to try and explain what is happening in the phenomena we study.
