Abstract

In this paper we discuss how different kinds of models can be combined in an educational setting to enable students to experience natural phenomena, here earthquakes. Different tools enable students to manipulate virtual models, construct physical models and formulate mathematical models. Ideally, the modelling processes and the resulting models complement each other to some degree. Virtual and physical models can then be driven by real data as well as mathematical models of the phenomena.
