WHAT IS STELLA ?

The Modelling and Simulation is related computer application which play role in helping
the people to understand and be trained for something easily. Models may include a
graphical display that you can see on a computer screen or by means of some other visual
device. Simulation generally refers to a computerized version of the model which is run
over the time to study the implications of the defined interactions.
Simulation can be used in many subjects in school. The easiest example is in science
subject which require many experimentations. One example of the simulation software
suitablefor learning science is the STELLA software.This software is user friendly and also
suitable for students age .STELLA is software developed by isee system. According to the
product info of STELLA, this software allow user to communicate with the simulation to
understand how a system works, what goes in, how the system is impacted, and what are
the outcomes.
 EXPERIMENT : BIOSAWIT

This experiment focus on the use of biological control methods (owl)

to ensure that the rat population in palm oil plantations are at a
minimum amount.

The objective of this simulation is to see the balance in the

relationship between the supply of oil to rats and mice and owls
relations .Next assist the parties in deciding the use of biological
control methods in a certain timeframe.
Total of Mice :20000
Total of owl :12
In order to run the stimulations we have to set the palm tree to the zero number. Since mice had occur so we
predict the population of mice up to 20000. Then the present of owl we assume 12. Based on the graph we can
see the total of the mice in normal situation but for the palm tree and owl in panic situation. The graph shows
us for the palm tree is a ascending and that was normal.
Total of mice is 15000
Total owl is 8
From the graph we can see the population of mice and owl is fluctuated.while the palm tree is
ascending due to the year.Situation from the colour of the indicator for mice is normal and then for
palm tree and owl is in panic situation.We can see when we increase the number of owl so the amount
of mice also decrease.
Total of mice :20000
Total of owl :14
From the graph we can observe the palm tree in the descending order.while for mice in
rapidly increase and owl are near to the zero point.situation that we can observe the
indicator show all in panic mood.
ADVANTAGES OF SIMULATION IN LEARNING
The process of teaching and learning becomes more interesting .
It will be more exciting as the learners can explore everything in various types of
experiments. If they have the software of simulation,they can explore it early when
they are not in the class.

Simulation also can help the teachers to teach the abstract content to the students.
It is meant that, the simulation can make the student easy to understand as they
can use the simulation and not just imagine on what have been taught by the teacher.

Enhance student motivation.

Students play an active role in their learning process and build their own knowledge
through active interaction.
 DISADVANTAGES OF SIMULATION
Students do not have computer or limited availability of computers.
They will not have the opportunity to explore after they have learnt in the class. Their
learning process will happen only in the class.

Teachers lack of skills

Simulation may also make the teachers feel burden because they have to explore the
simulation themselves which costs a lot of time.

School lacks of facilities and equipment

It is hard to integrate simulations in learning process as the amount of computers provided
is still not sufficient.
 CONCLUSION
Simulation and modelling offer many key advantages over real life and education.
It give many benefits and help us to observe the data. We are able to see the
pattern and draw a conclusions from the experiment. Through simulation and
modelling it can promote the deep learning that can enhanced the understanding.
Moreover, students can know the relationship between the variables in the
model.The simulation could make the students understand better about the
interaction among preys and predator. Besides that, student are able to conduct the
experiment more easier and faster. Simulations help students understand
probability and sampling theory.
