NetLogo Simulation Lesson – High School BiologyWhy do some diseases spread rapidly and then disappear, while others persist for decades? In this inquiry-based simulation lesson, students investigate disease spread as a dynamic system shaped by feedback loops, population turnover, and interaction over time. Using a free NetLogo simulation, students explore how infectiousness, duration, immunity, and reproduction interact to determine whether a disease collapses, stabilizes, or persists. Rather
