A model in science is a physical, mathematical, or logical representation of a system of entities, phenomena, or processes. Basically a model is a simplified abstract view of the complex reality. For the scientist, a model is also a way in which the human thought processes can be amplified. Models that are rendered in software allow scientists to leverage computational power to simulate, visualize, manipulate and gain intuition about the entity, phenomenon or process being represented.
The model itself can be anything used to illustrate the concept. I.e. those styrofoam solar systems you see at science fairs, or even an equation.
to study or represent a scientific thought or theory:-)
There is a significant difference between a scientific model, and a model aeroplane etc. A model aeroplane demostrates the reaction of that particular object in a set situation, or environment. A scientofic model must be able to explain why that particular action takes place.

scientific method
The Scientific definition of a model can be material, visual, mathematical, or computational and are often used in the construction of scientific theories. Models can also be defined as standard or example for imitation or comparison.
A visual or mathematical representation used to develop scientific explanations is called a model. A model can be a diagram, graph, equation, or any other representation that helps scientists understand and explain a scientific phenomenon or process. Models are used to simplify complex concepts and aid in the development of theories and predictions.

Yes a map is a scientific model
Theory.
theory
Scientific theory is not a model but the model can be construct to represent how any scientific theory work. Model of a large system e.g. earth's climate would contain many scientific theory of different field to make it work.
A scientific model can change if new evidence is found. If the new evidence that has been found contradicts the model or theory then a scientific model or theory can change.
