Model-It^™ is a visual modeling and simulation tool for use on desktop computers. Students can easily build, test, and evaluate qualitative models without needing to know the underlying calculus driving these models. They can create models that represent their theories about the scientific phenomena studied in class, and they can run simulations in order to test their models. Model-It provides meters and graphs for data visualization. Students can change values of one aspect of the model and immediately see the effects of that change throughout their model. Icons representing the factors that go into a model can be added, allowing students to customize their representations and linking them to their own environment.

Students can:

• build, test, and evaluate qualitative models, without needing to know the underlying calculus.

• create models that represent their theories about the scientific phenomena studied in class.

• run simulations to test and analyze their models.

• improve communication, decision making, critical thinking, and listening skills through discussion and analysis.

• Use supplemental curriculum units covering several content areas to integrate standards-based content with Model-It technology.
