Computational Thinking: System Models


Simple Population Model:

  • HAVE: Rabbits
  • CHANGE per Unit Time: Birth Fraction*Rabbits (a fraction of the rabbits have bunnies)
  • VARIABLE: Birth Fraction
  • DEPENDENCIES ("Guzzinta's"): "I need to know . . . in order to compute"

  • As with all discrete models, the time step is a key part of the model!
