The NetLogo Model

It is time to take a closer look at a NetLogo Model and then to understand all the 'parts' of the model. Feel free to explore and experiment with the model. You cannot break it (or can you?). It might be useful to take notes for the terms you do not understand.

Questions

Please answer the questions below.

Question 3.1

What are infection parameters and behavior parameters in the model? Choose one of the parameters, and make a guess about how that parameter would affect the spread of the disease.

Question 3.2

SAQ: Describe a 'turtle' as it is used in NetLogo.

Question 3.3

When do you use the 'set-up' button? This may be a hint as to how to make the model work!

Question 3.4

Set up and run the model. After 100 ticks, look at the graph. Be sure to zoom in so you can really see the results. Write your results for the 75th tick in the space provided. Then write the parameters you used to 'setup' your model.

Question 3.5

So what does this have to do with Ingrid and her story? Remember our questions from Lesson 2 Page 1: How did Ingrid contract COVID-19 without coming in contact with an active case? Answer this question: How can we use the NetLogo to inform us on safe practices in a pandemic?
