Description
According to researchers in the Nature of Science (NoS), it is desirable that students are directly exposed to the process of building of scientific knowledge, in particular concerning the role of models and theories. In this contribution, a few experimental activities, aimed at explicitly showing several aspects of the role of models in science, are described. In order to set the stage, the role of models and theories in science is reviewed, and the views of both experienced researchers and non-experts are investigated and compared.
