Here's a nice article in the Atlantic about how scientific modeling is driving research in the social sciences. There's been some interesting research around bringing these modeling techniques into K-12 classrooms and allowing kids to conduct these kinds of investigations. Good pointers to see the learning technology efforts are the Center for Connected Learning and Computer-based Modeling at Northwestern, Mitch Resnick's work at MIT, and AgentSheets, a commercial effort to provide a general-purpose programmable modeling environment for learning. 10:35:33 PM
