Post you photos of abstractions here.
An abstraction is a representation of a thing or idea that keeps only the most important features and discards unimportant ones.
Here's an example:

My experiences with G.U.T.S
by Micaela Altamirano
My journey began about six years ago. A colleague had told be about this
program and so I went to Socorro, NM at New Mexico Tech to learn further. We had a
two week long in depth journey into StarLogo tng. EVERYTHING was over my head. My
has it changed, from the Professional Developments to the amount of people attending,
to the actual programming software itself.An implementation story from Kyle Dunbar

Each year #HourOfCode rolls around and I have a great time generating enthusiasm about coding with kids and teachers. But I was itchy to push coding activities further into our curriculum and truly align coding activities with our curriculum. I was so pleased when I found the middle school page at code.org and began reading about Project GUTS (Growing Up Thinking Scientifically).
CS in Science Module 3: Ecosystems as Complex Systems (for StarLogo Nova 2.0)

Spontaneous Animal Death
Forum
I am trying to create a balanced ecosystem with three animals (sheephead fish, urchins, and kelp). Things go along great until (depending on the age of the urchins) all the urchins die simultaneously. Even though they are all being born at a different time and they are coded to age at the same rate, the urchins are all disappearing at the same time of old age. (I tested this by removing the code that has them die based on age. The simultaneous death stopped happening when this code was removed.) Can anyone help with my code?

Using lists in SLN 2.0
Forum
I'm experimenting with Lists in SLN 2.0 with a very simple example: I want a program that creates an even and random number of turtles from 2 to 10 when I push the 'setup' button.
Below is the code that I tried with no success.
