      Instructions for downloading the simulation: You will need to click the download button and obtain the .jar file. This will only work on windows machines and you will need to have Java installed. If you do not have Java in stalled on your computer, you can download it for Windows here. When you open the link, click "Download Java" (it's the green button). This should allow you to open the .jar simulation file and access the simulation needed.
