This worksheet is for use with the lesson Advanced Fire (http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/lessons/AdvancedFire/).
This worksheet is for use with the activity Advanced Fire (http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/AdvancedFire/).
Fire!! (Activity)
Run a simulation of how a fire will spread through a stand of trees, learning about probability and chaos. Parameters: Probability that a tree catches fire if its neighbor is on fire.
This worksheet is for use with the Fire! activity (http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/Fire/).
This worksheet is for use with the Fire! activity (http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/Fire/).
This worksheet is for use with the Fire! activity (http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/Fire/).
This worksheet is for use with the A Better Fire! activity (http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/ABetterFire/).
Students use probability to determine how likely it is for each tree in a small simulated forest to catch on fire.
Advanced Fire (Lesson)
Lesson plan to help students understand independent and dependent variables through a fire probability simulation.
Introduces students to probability simulation, allowing them to explore computer modeling while learning about probability.
This worksheet is for use with the Directable Fire activity (http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/DirectableFire/).
Utilizes and reinforces concepts of probability, mean, line plots, experimental data, and chaos in analyzing a forest fire simulation.
A Better Fire!! (Activity)
Students run a simulation of how a fire will spread through a stand of trees, learning about probability and chaos. Parameters: Forest density, wind direction, size of forest.
This worksheet is for use with the Directable Fire activity (http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/DirectableFire/).
Introduction to various estimation methods through the simulation of a forest fire.
Advanced Fire (Activity)
Run a simulation of how a fire spreads through a stand of trees, learning about probability and chaos. Track the results of multiple burns and use the data to draw conclusions.
This worksheet is for use with the Better Fire activity (http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/ABetterFire/).
