It is said that science is the processes that allow us to make models and break them. Many of the models we present in high schools, some expressed as algebraic formulae, are somewhat idealized, and break down under closer scrutiny. In other cases we can build physical models that represent situations in which we can’t use the “real thing”. In this hands-on session, we will look at the modelling ideas involved in three Physics 30 experiments.
