Design a test of a model to ascertain its reliability. Develop, revise, and use models based on evidence to illustrate and predict the relationships between systems or between components of a system. Develop and use multiple types of models to provide mechanistic accounts and predict phenomena. Move flexibly between these model types based on merits and limitations. Develop a complex model that allows for manipulation and testing of a proposed process or system. Develop and use a model (including mathematical and computational) to generate data to support explanations, predict phenomena, analyze systems, and solve problems.
