Level A: Up and Down in the Wild: Predator and Prey This lesson allows students to explore the interactions of two animal populations (wolves and moose) within an ecosystem. One animal in the simulation is a predator. The other animal is its prey. Their populations rise and fall (oscillate) over time as they interact and impact one another.

The behavior over time of a population limited by density-dependent factors is called logistic growth. You will be simulating a model of logistic population growth. You'll be able to change factors that address how fast an animal population grows, how long individuals in the population live on average, and how much area the population has available. See if you can vary the shape of the logistic curve, or create something different.

Level C: Eat and Be Eaten: Prey as Predator, Predator as Prey This model explores a moose and wolf population. A predator/prey relationship is present, as with Lesson 4, but now the moose have a food source, creating a more realistic representation of the ecosystem. Students take on the role of wildlife manager and control hunting policies for both predator and prey populations. The default simulation behavior for prey, predators, and biomass is oscillation. Depending on policy decisions, a variety of results occur.

This lesson explores how animal populations can grow and decline over time through use of a simulation. This very simple model allows students to impact the birth and death rates based on input for different animals. The simulation displays what happens to the different populations over time. Students can compare the resulting trends for different animals and consider why those trends occur. Students may also research additional animal data in order to create their own runs.

You have entered the "Behind Closed Gates" simulation and will be working as a social scientist. As you enter, the gate shuts behind you, and you must discover what makes this place tick. The simulation is loosely based on an experiment that was conducted at Stanford University in 1971. The psychologist who designed that experiment, Phillip Zimbardo, wanted to see how typical people would act if they were asked to take on roles of prisoners and prison guards for a two-week period. The study was stopped after only six days because of escalating, abusive behavior of the guards and concerns about the well-being of the prisoners. You can see more about this study and about prisons in general by visiting the "Resource Center." Explore the simulation and then connect the results to one or more contexts. You will need evidence from the simulation (settings with resulting graphs), from the chosen context, and from real-world events. Contexts: You don't need to make a choice yet; just proceed to the "Briefing Room" in preparation for running the simulation.

Uploading a Bundle from Zip

Instead of creating bundles, categories, and assemblies one by one, you can upload a single zip file that contains all of your bundle's content. To create your zipped bundle, make a folder with your bundle's name and add subfolders with your categories' names. The folder tree should have the same structure that you want the categories to have in your bundle. Place your assembly .stmx files in the appropriate category folders, then zip your bundle folder and upload it using the Upload Bundle from Zip link above.

Assemblies, Bundles, and Categories

Assemblies are self contained models that demonstrate common ways to connect together building blocks and that can be used as parts of other models. This is analogous to using prefabricated wall and roof pieces to construct a house.

Bundles are groups of assemblies with a common use or theme. For example, a Health Care bundle might contain a variety of assemblies that aid in creating health care models. When you download assemblies from the isee Exchange™, you download an entire bundle, rather than individual assemblies.

Categories are subgroups of assemblies within a bundle. For example, a Health Care bundle might contain a Funding category for assemblies related to the management of hospital funds. All assemblies must be assigned to a category—they cannot be assigned to the root of a bundle.

Assemblies, bundles, and categories can be created and uploaded to the isee Exchange™ via the options on the Manage My Assemblies page. To learn more, visit our help pages, or take our assemblies tutorial.

Sim App (Sim)

An interface that allows users to interact with a model.

Image of a sim

Sim apps allow users to interact with a model using buttons, sliders, knobs, tables, graphs, and storytelling. These interactions help users understand how parts of a system interact.

Interfaces are created by model authors in the Stella desktop software and can be uploaded to the isee Exchange™.

Model

A diagram that represents how elements in a system influence one another.

Image of a model

Models are mathematical representations of how elements in a system are connected and interact (e.g., ecosystems, organizations, supply chains). When running models on the isee Exchange™, results can be viewed in output devices like graphs and tables.

Models appear in the isee Exchange™ directory when authors upload them from the Stella® desktop software or create them with Stella Online™.
