Physical Models Activity You have explored some interesting, informative, and amusing examples of models. Now it's time to get creative and make your own model. Here is the requirement checklist for your model:

✔ Model types can include drawings, diagrams, physical models, virtual simulations, or videos.
✔ Models must be created by you, not something selected from an online or outside source.
✔ Submit a presentation, picture, video, or screenshot of your model.
✔ Submit a one-paragraph summary describing the topic you chose, your model, what it represents, how you made it, and the specific science involved. It is important that you are using science terminology and are accurate.
Now that you know how to create and submit your model, you will need to choose a topic for your model. Choose one of the three topics listed below. Select each topic for an overview.

Conservation of Mass
Explore the law of conservation of mass. Model a physical or chemical change, and then demonstrate how mass is conserved before and after the change. The image shows how the total number of atoms before and after a chemical reaction equals one another.

Atomic Theory
Thermal Energy
Here's a student example to help guide you. This is one of many ways to model the topic options. If you have an idea but are not sure, you can contact your instructor for assistance.
