Scientific Practices and Computational Thinking in Modeling & Simulation

This document is a handout used to reflect on the scientific practices and computational thinking involved in a Project GUTS module or lesson.

Battle of the Agents

A take on the classic board game Battleship, this paper and pencil activity is a fun way to help students understand the use of x and y coordinates in StarLogo Nova. After the activity, students can use the StarLogo Nova model to experiment with x and y locations in a game-like context.

Libro de recetas de StarLogo NOVA

Este documento incluye explicaciones y capturas de pantalla para los códigos comunes en StarLogo Nova, incluyendo la creación del mundo, la creación y el cambio de nombre de razas, el uso de rasgos por defecto y la creación de rasgos personalizados, movimientos aleatorios, coordenadas y el uso de la vista 3D, cajas de datos y gráficos de línea, el color del terreno, el uso de colisiones, la creación de un código para detener la ejecución, y cómo perseguir o huir de otros agentes.

Swords and Shields

Swords and Shields is an interactive simulation game which teaches students some of the basic ideas of complex adaptive systems. After playing, you can show the students a model of the game in StarLogo TNG or StarLogo Nova to discuss basic concepts of agent-based modeling. Try it, it's fun!
