Ficha de diseño de un modelo

Es una guía con preguntas que deben contestarse cuando se diseña un modelo de simulación basado en agentes.

Guía de observación de un modelo basado en agentes

Se trata de una guía para poder observar un modelo basado en agentes y reconocer sus diferentes partes, como por ejemplo las abstracciones (quiénes son los agentes, cuál es el entorno, cuáles son las interacciones); la automatización; los supuestos y el análisis.

Introducción al modelado del clima

Documento base como introducción al modelado del clima. Habla sobre el sistema climático global como un sistema dinámico complejo; la diferencia entre tiempo y clima; los ciclos de retroalimentación en el sistema climático global, etc.
Fue extraído de “Mathematics of Climate Change: A new discipline for an uncertain century” una publicación del Instituto de Investigación en Ciencias Matemáticas. Berkeley, CA 2007 y traducido al español.

Teaching Tip - How to organize and share student work

Tips on how to set up a folder so students can share their work in an online gallery of sorts.

Archived Material: CS in Science Module 4 Chemical Reactions for StarLogo Nova 1.0 (Flash version)

Archived Material: CS in Science Module 4: Chemical Reactions for StarLogo Nova 1.0 (Flash version, updated 2015). This Physical Science module explores chemical reactions: the conditions under which they occur, the evidence that a chemical reaction has taken place, limiting reactants versus reactants in excess, and when chemical reactions stop. The base model for this unit simulates the chemical reaction between silver nitrate and copper.

Science of Friendship

Why do humans help some people and not others? This Project GUTS unit explores this question and allows students to test their own assumptions. Using methods and data from anthropology, sociology and psychology and computer modeling in NetLogo, students investigate the role of cooperation in human interactions—and how cooperation plays a role in global issues such as resource management, health equity and climate change.

Social Networks for StarLogo TNG

How are people connected? Humans are inherently social and have relationships far more complex than the random encounters often seen in agent-based modeling. These relationships can vary in strength and meaning – we see social networks that range from kinship networks, friendship networks to contact networks used in the study of epidemiology. The primary goal of this unit is to engage students in simple interactive activities to explore social network concepts and to model those concepts.
