About this Simulation

Antibiotic Dice models how bacterial populations develop antibiotic resistance through repeated treatment cycles. Students use dice rolls to represent random mutations and survival outcomes, visualising resistance spread across generations. The simulation connects probability, genetics, and public health through hands-on interactive exploration.

Learning objectives: Understand how antibiotic resistance emerges through natural selection | Model population dynamics and mutation rates using probability | Explore the consequences of incomplete treatment and overuse on resistance development
