description
The intellectual effects of model building Model building by adult scientists is richly rewarding intellectually. Can the intellectual benefits be reaped by young children who build animated computer models as part of their science study? Experience in the Science Theater/ Teatro de Ciencias project, in which children used novel rule-based programming systems, provides some indications of how model building works and fails to work intellectually.
