Question: What is a mircoworld?
Answer: The MIT Media Lab Learning and Common Sense Group (www.media.mit.edu) coined the term microlab and they defined it as a tiny world inside which a student can explore alternatives, test hypotheses, and discover facts that are true about the world (www.umcs.maine.edu/~larry/microworlds/microworld.html). It differs from a simulation in that the student is encouraged to think about it as a "real" worl, and not simply as a simulation of another world.
