Detailed explanation-3: -The 4 types of scientific models are representational, descriptive, spatial and mathematical models.

Detailed explanation-4: -Examples of visual models include flow charts, graphs, diagrams, and 3D models. Mathematical models use symbols to represent quantifiable data that explain abstract ideas. Mathematical models include equations and theories.
