Abstract
We present a study, in which we examined the impact of the design of a model exploration interface on students' learning process. Students studied how light patterns affected the swimming behavior of some microorganisms. In one condition, students could manipulate both the light patterns and the model parameters and in the other only parameters. The two groups differed in terms of systematicity of their model exploration strategies and learning outcomes.
