DOCUMENT PREVIEW: Question 1
1.1 Clarify the difference between theory and model. (10)
The difference between a model and a theory is that a model is a way to think and
interpret events, as well as objects. But a theory has scientific explanations which is
the result of experimentation. A theory is a scientifically studied concept that in most
instances has been researched and can be proven. Models are closely related to
theory and the difference between a theory and a model is not always clear. A model
is a more basic or scaled down version of a theory. You can think of models as
theories with a more narrowly defined scope of explanation. A model is descriptive,
whereas a theory is explanatory as well as descriptive.
Definition

Nature

• Model is used to simplify things and is more practical. Reality
• Theory explains a phenomenon and is intangible.
• Model simplifies a concept and most of the times it is tangible
