In response to increasing calls to include computational thinking (CT) in K-12 education,
some researchers have argued for integrating science learning and CT. In that vein, this …

Building computational models is powerful in enabling sense making of mechanisms
underlying phenomena. However, an important step towards building such understandings …

Integrating agent-based models (ABMs) has been a popular approach for teaching
emergent science concepts. However, students continue to find it difficult to explain the …
