(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.

Example

Using simulations in pilot training helps students learn how to operate airplanes safely.

Example

Without simulations, learning to drive would be much harder and less safe.

Example

What kind of simulations do you think would help in learning science?

Context: “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.

Example

The researchers used simulations to predict how the new medicine would work in the human body.

Example

Real experiments were necessary instead of just relying on simulations for accurate results.

Example

How do scientists create simulations to study climate change?

Context: “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.

Example

The firefighters practiced with simulations to prepare for real emergencies.

Example
