Forest Fire model
This activity allows the user to see the results of a fire if a forest is densely planted in a rectangular grid.

See if you can figure out how to use the Forest Fire model. I will demonstrate this on Tuesday and we will do a group exercise with it during the lab on Thursday during the 4th class, experimenting with different probabiities of trees catching fire in a dense forest.
