Phenomena Simulation Library – High School

Simulations:

B.1 L4a – Data Excursion 1: 30 Year Average Rainfall

This data excursion supports an investigation of rainfall patterns across different regions of the Serengeti.

B.1 L4b – Data Excursion 2: Annual Rainfall and Wildebeest Occupancy

This data excursion supports an investigation into the relationship between rainfall patterns and wildebeest location in the Serengeti.

B.1 L8 – SageModeler Starting Template

This model supports student development of a mathematical model to explain interactions between components of the Serengeti system.

C.1 L1a – Sea Level Rise Projections

This tool allows students to project future sea level rises.

C.1 L1b – Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts

This tool shows what sea level rise "looks like" at different locations.

C.1 L4 – Sea Level Change Simulation

This simulation allows visualization of sea level rise in different locations based on Greenland and Antarctic ice melt.

C.1 L6 – Enhanced Greenhouse Effect Simulation

This simulation is included in an alternate activity callout to support students in thinking about the enhanced greenhouse effect.

C.1 Lesson 10a – Energy Transfer Between Solids

This simulation allows students to model energy transfer between two solids.

C.1 Lesson 10b – Energy Transfer Between Different Substances

This simulation allows students to model energy transfer between two solids or a solid and a gas.

C.1 Lesson 13 – Earth System Model

This computational model tracks the effects of human activity on the Earth system.

P.1 L6 – Wire Simulation

This simulation allows students to visualize the AC and DC current in a variable transmission wire.

P.1 L7 – CODAP dataset

This data set supports students in developing a correlation hypothesis about tradeoffs in energy decision-making.
