 Make a model target

The model target is the thing you are trying to explain with the model.

Models exist to answer questions. A Vmodel model is used to explain why something behaves the way it does over time. Your model can show why something increases, decreases or stays the same over time. Your model target should state what is changing and how it is changing. For example:

This model will explain why the level of water in Lake Michigan is going down.

You type your target into the colored box in the target screen. The target will show up at the top of the modeling panel in all the other modes.
