Pretty cool.

A good illustration of "sensitivity to initial conditions". Paths originating at nearby points soon diverge, never to be reconciled.

This Java applet illustrates the butterfly effect: how a small change in the beginning can make a huge difference in the end.

The kids and I really enjoyed playing with this, and isn't it the case that when we play, we learn the most?

I spent way too much time here. If you do it right, it looks like a butterfly...

I have seen it in books, but never made one of them by myself! Good idea!

This Java applet lets you try out the butterfly effect yourself: see how a tiny difference at the beginning can make a huge difference in the end.

Good website. Many people "stumbling upon it" won't know what Chaos is, so a good idea would be to include very layman theory behind it. Excellent Work!
