BioGraph - Graphical Programming for Constructing Complex Systems Understanding in Biology

Our team developed agent-based simulations and a five-lesson high school biology curriculum to support the teaching of complex systems ideas and concepts in high school science classrooms. The simulations and curriculum were developed in strong partnership with high school science teachers, many of whom still collaborate with CRADLE Lab to this day. The simulations and curricular resources can be found onthe BioGraph Moodle site. These simulations and curricular resources served as a foundational building block for the DeTECT project, which is currently being run by the CRADLE Lab (see: “Current Projects”). 

BioGraph was funded by NSF through its Discovery Research K-12 (DRK12) program from 2010 to 2015. More information about the NSF project can be found here.
