Preview - 21/22 Computational Modeling Of Covid-19 Spread

Becoming Familiar with NetLogo

Here is where we get going.  You will have a chance to manipulate the NetLogo Model.  Please take care to answer questions when requested.  Go in order and follow directions.  Use the information generated in the graph to help you collect data and answer questions.

Questions

Please answer the questions below.

What do you think will happen to a large number of people in a small area, without protection, in a COVID-19 hotspot?  How do you know or why do you think this?

Before changing the model, predict what will happen if you,

Click set-up

Click the infect-a-person button, 10 times. 

 no social distancing? and no face masks?.  

Write an observation before running the model.

Write an observation after running the model for 100 ticks.

Alrighty. that was fun!  Now try this:

Predict what will happen in the Model, if you:

Click on big size world

Click set-up

Click on infect-a-person 10 times

 no social distancing and no face masks 

Move the Density Slider to 30%, Infectiousness to 65%, chance-recover to 40 5, infection-duration to 21 days

Write an observation NOW before running the model.

Run the model for 100 ticks.  Using the graph, write your result (data).

You have information from a graph and what you saw happen in the Model from question 3.  How did the numbers change and why did the numbers change the way they did?

SAQ:  In the table below write:

One learning

One wondering

AND one thing you want to try with the NetLogo Model, going forward.
