Abstract
Simulation based learning environments are widely used in elementary and secondary science education. However, a large number of these learning environments are domain-dependent so that they are only useful in some special domains. In this paper, we put forward a new method of simulating continuous time-invariant systems by using frame based knowledge representation and interpretive structural modeling. This method is helpful to realize the separation of knowledge representation and simulation program, and promotes the reusability of a simulation based learning environment.
