Question

order the steps for building a model of a dinosaur using numbers 1 - 3. 8.8) __ scientists infer what a dinosaur might look like. 8.9) scientists observe and study dinosaur fossils. 8.10) scientists build models of dinosaurs. write p for physical model, d for drawing, and c for computer model next to each example. 8.11) a meteorologist needs to show the possible path of a hurricane. 8.12) a museum wants to create a display of prehistoric animals. 8.13) an engineer designs a new type of car. choose the best answers. 8.14) models are helpful for showing events that happened in the past or might happen in the future. a. paper b. physical c. computer 8.15) a(n) __ is something that keeps a model from being exactly like the thing it represents. a. limitation b. advantage c. finding 8.16) what are three limitations of models? they allow scientists to observe things that are too small or too big to observe directly. they may not be accurate representations of the real thing. they might not work well if they are too small, too big, or made of different materials than the real thing. some models require a lot of computer power and time to run.

Explanation:

8.8 - First, scientists observe and study dinosaur fossils to infer what a dinosaur might look like. Then they build models. So the order is 1.
8.9 - This is the second - step of observing and studying dinosaurs after fossils are studied, so it's 2.
8.10 - Building models is the final step in the process, so it's 3.
8.11 - A meteorologist showing the path of a hurricane would use a computer model (C) as computers can simulate weather patterns.
8.12 - A museum creating a display of prehistoric animals would likely use a physical model (P) for visitors to see.
8.13 - An engineer designing a new type of car might use a physical model (P) for prototyping and testing.
8.14 - Computer models are best for showing past or future events as they can simulate scenarios, so C.
8.15 - A limitation keeps a model from being exactly like the real - thing, so A.
8.16 - Limitations of models include not being accurate representations, not working well if different in size or material, and some requiring a lot of computer power and time. So the correct boxes are: They may not be accurate representations of the real thing; They might not work well if they are too small, too big, or made of different materials than the real thing; Some models require a lot of computer power and time to run.

Answer:

8.8: 1
8.9: 2
8.10: 3
8.11: C
8.12: P
8.13: P
8.14: C
8.15: A
8.16: They may not be accurate representations of the real thing; They might not work well if they are too small, too big, or made of different materials than the real thing; Some models require a lot of computer power and time to run.
