Java via CheerpJ:
We've partnered with Leaning Technologies to allow our Java sims to run in a browser.
This sim is not compatible with iPads.

Java Version:
Supports offline use and offers improved performance.
Topics
- Biology
- Food
- Exercise
- Energy
Description
How many calories are in your favorite foods? How much exercise would you have to do to burn off these calories? What is the relationship between calories and weight? Explore these issues by choosing diet and exercise and keeping an eye on your weight.
Sample Learning Goals
- Design a diet and exercise regimen.
- Estimate the number of calories required for basic survival.
- Estimate the number of calories burned by exercise.
- Explain how heart health depends on diet and exercise.
- Explain how Body Mass Index (BMI) depends on weight and height.
