Classroom Computer Models

The models below use NetLogo package from the Northwestern University. The models run as Java applets. You must use a browser that supports Java 1.4.1. (Safari works, IE does not. Mac OS X comes with Safari. Open Safari and set it as your default web browser under Safari/Preferences/General.) On other operating systems, you may obtain the latest Java plugin from Sun's Java site.

For each model, underneath the model section is a section describing the model, how to use it, and what to look for.

• Newtonian Relativity

• Big Bang

• Brownian Motion
