Description
In this paper, a teaching intervention is proposed and described. Ιt is methodologically based on the guided inquiry method, while using the modeling, simulation and programming tool of NetLogo. The pre-existing model “Fire” (from the Models’ Library of NetLogo) was modified and additional parameters were added such as speed of wind and its direction and the possibility of low humidity. This approach was implemented in a teaching sequence for Primary School students with the main goal for them to understand the basic concepts that govern the “Complex System” of a forest fire, by interacting with the simulation.
