Texas Instruments: Numb3 Rs: Hide and Seep

Curated by ACT

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson introduces students to percolation theory and the possibilities of cellular automata. Framed in the context of a playground which disappears into a sinkhole, students model a small pond which seeps with different probabilities through the ground beneath. Some students will form sinkholes, some will notice nothing special, but class discussion will certainly follow this lesson!
