| Abstract | The purpose of this paper is to present how a model-based inquiry approach could support the development of students' conceptual understanding about the prey-predator system and cognitive skills. In so doing, we developed a sequence of activities, which involve three cycles of scientific inquiry. The first cycle involves, among others, playing a role-playing game of a prey-predator system, whereas the second cycle involves developing and running a model (i.e., a simulation) of the prey-predator system on a computer. The third cycle follows after the enactment of the first two cycles and it involves comparing the role-playing game to the computer simulation, in an attempt to identify differences concerning the modelling process and system dynamics applied in each of the former two cycles, as well as to identify and discuss nature-of-science related issues within the context of the prey-predator system. The whole approach has been designed for upper secondary school students, but with some adaptations it could also be used for lower secondary education or even the last grades of the primary school. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
