Model
• A theory is simply another word for a model. A model means the representation of a process, an object, or real life situations.
• Models are important in science as they are used in the investigation of things that are seen to be either too small, or complex to investigate directly.
• It should also be noted that theories can be used in organizing empirical facts to understand a phenomena. For example, things such as atoms or stars can be modelled since they can be difficult to directly investigate.
