This is meant to be a rough draft of an idea Charlie and I talked about: that we should have a n-by-n matrix of different ideas that we want to make sure we hit. Since an n-by-n matrix is hard to display (especially on a wiki!) it turned into a list instead. Once this is finished, we should make sure that at least one unit addresses each one of these topics.
Initial "dimensions" of the matrix:
Contents
Scientific Disciplines
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Physics
- Geology (earthquakes)
- Environmental science
- One of the social sciences
Potentially:
- Astronomy
Scientific Tools
- Equation-based modeling
- Agent-based modeling: Netlogo or AgentSheets
- Systems-based modeling: Vensim
- Visualization/visual modeling
- Mashups and Google Earth
Potentially
- SecondLife or OpenSim
Foundation Skills
- Creating a graph
- Interpreting a graph
- Basic statistics
- Estimation
- Parameter sweep
Potentially
- Building a physical model
Make Sure This Goes Somewhere
- Data collection: sensor nets, lasers
