When is a fire “good” and when is it “bad”? What is the role of humans in preventing and stopping wildland fires? Students use StarLogo TNG simulation models of forest fires to explore these essential and provocative questions which have no simple answers. Students conduct experiments, make observations, collect and interpret data, and use their findings to make informed risk-benefit decisions in game-like challenges using the modeling software. Students also engage in simple programming to modify the behavior the model.

Biology CurriculumTagged: StarLogo TNG
The StarLogoTNG Biology Curriculum is a set of activities that centers on the themes of ecology and evolution. It uses the simple interactions of carrots, rabbits, and wolves, along with various abiotic factors, to highlight the concepts inherent in decentralized systems that are traditionally difficult for students to understand. The projects require students to learn simple programming with the aim of fostering computer usage in science, but the major focus of each activity is system observation and data analysis. blog tutorialTagged: StarLogo TNG

NOTE: This is the Summer 2008 schedule, provided for reference. The 2009 workshop will run from August 10-14. The workshop is split into two parts. The first half focuses on familiarizing teachers with the basics of TNG and simulations. The remaining half will focus on helping teachers integrate TNG into their classrooms by learning relevant curricula.
