Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A scientific model is a physical and/or mathematical and/or conceptual representation of a system of ideas, events or processes. Scientists seek to identify and understand patterns in our world by drawing on their scientific knowledge to offer explanations that enable the patterns to be predicted.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are three types of models that are generally grouped. They include visual models, mathematical models, and computer models. All three types of models can be used in every branch of science. Each depends largely on the type of scientific inquiry and the form of the data collected.

Detailed explanation-3: -Standard examples are the billiard ball model of a gas, the Bohr model of the atom, the Lotka–Volterra model of predator–prey interaction, the Mundell–Fleming model of an open economy, and the scale model of a bridge.

Detailed explanation-4: -Scientists use models to help them study things in detail. Models can help scientists to study things that are too large, too small, too fast, too slow, or too dangerous for them to study in reality. They use models to help explain or support scientific laws or theories.
