2-Hour Workshop for Teacher Education Majors:
- Mark-Recapture Method with Plastic Lizards: This hands-on activity introduces the Mark-Recapture Method, a widely used ecological technique for estimating wildlife population sizes, using plastic lizards in a simulated environment. By marking, releasing, and recapturing lizards, participants will explore key concepts such as sampling, randomness, and population estimation, making abstract modeling concepts more accessible and engaging for learners.
- Modeling Infectious Diseases through Real-Time Simulations: In this activity, students will simulate the spread of an infectious disease using the probability dynamics of Rock-Paper-Scissors. Infected players «transmit» the disease to susceptible players through wins, allowing students to track and model the progression of an outbreak over several rounds. This interactive approach introduces probability, randomness, and the exponential nature of disease outbreaks while exploring how interventions can alter the spread.
