Unit 3D: Exploring simulations

QCA
About this unit

In this unit children begin to understand that computer simulations can represent real and imaginary situations. They learn how to explore simulations, explore options and to test their predictions. They evaluate simulations by comparing them with real situations and considering their usefulness.

Children will apply what they have learnt when using simulations throughout their work, for example predator/prey simulations in science.
