The aim of this paper is to explain some of the results about interacting particle systems to readers not being experts in probability theory. The author considers five models: oriented percolation, Richardson's model, a model for the spread of measles (or forest firesö), the contact process and a ``crabgrass model''. For each model several computer pictures are given in order to illustrate how the behaviour of that model depends on the value of a certain parameter.
