Computerized Laboratories

This page displays some examples of the computerized labs developed in "Science 2000" that are connected to the project study modules. Each module of our program includes a computerized lab where the student is completly involved in the experiment as a researcher. Due to space limitations, only a few examples of the actual labs, with a partial sampling of their options are available on this page. (The quality of the graphic user interface is occasionally lower than that of the labs, which are connected to the study modules. The applets are accompanied by detailed help pages, which contain explanations of the applets and their operation.) The labs that are linked to this page are based on JAVA applets.

	Coastline - this lab presents a basic method for familiarization with concepts such as "Self-Similarity" and, "Fractal Dimension." Those concepts were developed while developing the concepts of the fractal geometry, in the early 70s by the scientists Mandelbrot and Richardson. The lab is part of the module, "Fractals in Nature."
	RANDOM - this lab introduces the student to the principles of random walk by using the "drunkard walk" method. The lab is one of a variety of labs that are part of the "Random Walk" module.
	Random Growth - this lab introduces students to a model for the creation of a random aggregation (DLA), which allows them to participate actively in setting the parameters for the creation of the aggregation, and to follow continuously the creation processes of the aggregation, while focusing on both micro and macro processes. The lab is part of the "Random Growth" module.
	Traffic - this lab introduces an innovative field of research, "The Physics of Traffic." The lab will be linked to a future module that will deal with this subject.
