Models are at the core of scientific inquiry. In my latest piece for the Norwegian Centre for Science Education, I use the history of gravity as a case study to illustrate how models become crucial tools in advancing scientific knowledge. 

You can find the article (in Norwegian) in the current issue of Naturfag, the magazine of the Norwegian Centre for Science Education.
