SORBET in SLS Disease Transmission Dice Simulation 2026 Worksheet

SORBET in SLS Disease Transmission Dice Simulation is a worksheet-aligned biology simulation for investigating how disease can spread in a closed population.

Students select contagious dice sums, observe infections, pause at each contact, and connect likelihood of infection to probability in a susceptible-infected model with no recovery. {source}<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kCyH0USh7T0?si=sDc0nS07N4kn-iP9" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>{/source}

Activity: Simulation

  1. Set a population for the closed environment.
  2. Uncheck all contagious sums and start the simulation.
  3. Select one contagious sum, such as 7, and observe the number of infections.
  4. Check pause with each contact to see how disease is transmitted.
  5. Check more than one contagious sum, such as 7 and 8, to simulate higher contagiousness.

The interactive includes real-time teacher analytics, a compact worksheet tooltip, activity marks, and a downloadable SLS-ready package.

Also listed in the AI Prompt Library catalogue.
