simulations
Prononciation : [ˌsɪm.jʊˈleɪ.ʃənz]
Contexte : « games »
(noun) simulations are activities that pretend to be real-life situations. They help us practice or understand something by acting it out. For example, in a flight simulator, you can experience flying a plane without actually being in one.
Exemple
Using simulations in pilot training helps students learn how to operate airplanes safely.
Exemple
Without simulations, learning to drive would be much harder and less safe.
Exemple
What kind of simulations do you think would help in learning science?
Contexte : « science »
(noun) simulations also refer to computer programs that create a model of something to study or predict how it works. Scientists use them to test theories without doing real experiments, like predicting weather patterns or studying reactions.
Exemple
The researchers used simulations to predict how the new medicine would work in the human body.
Exemple
Real experiments were necessary instead of just relying on simulations for accurate results.
Exemple
How do scientists create simulations to study climate change?
Contexte : « training »
(noun) simulations can also be used in training to help people prepare for real situations. This is common in jobs where practice is important, like emergency response training.
Exemple
The firefighters practiced with simulations to prepare for real emergencies.
Exemple
Without simulations, the training wouldn't be as effective for the firefighters.
Exemple
What types of simulations do first responders use in their training?
