Middle School Science Minute

MODELING ECOSYSTEMS
I was recently reading the January, 2016 issue of "Science Scope," a magazine written for middle school science teachers, published by the National Science Teachers Association.
In this issue, I read the article, "Modeling Ecosystems." It was written by Anthony J Petrosino and Michele J Mann. The article discusses the hierarchy of model types. They include:
1. Physical Models
2. Symbolic Models
3. Computational Models
