Building Your First Model Using SageModeler
Building Your First Model Using SageModeler
Background: If you used SageModeler to explore how rabbit populations, Dr. Seuss's Lorax and epidemics have similar patterns, you are likely ready to create a more dynamic model on disease epidemics. This activity was developed for high school students to construct a dynamic model and to consider how models are used when studying epidemics. For a primer on modeling epidemics, view this descriptive 23-minute video. This video clearly demonstrates how models help make decisions for what works and what doesn't when slowing the spread of epidemics.
