INTRODUCTION
STELLA is one of computer simulation based modelbuilding and simulation tools.
The modelling and simulation is related to 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 devices.
Simulation generally refers to a computerized
version of a model which is run over the time to
study the implications of the define interactions.

Experiment :
This experiment is to investigate about the
population of hare and lynx after a one-time
harvests.
The objectives of this simulation is to
develop a model of a system that illustrate a
population dynamic involving predators and
their preys.

 This graph show the population warning indicators of lynx and hares

In order to model a predator vs. prey

relationship, we need to understand the
relationship at work for each population
and the interplay between the population.
Each population is depending on the other .
The relationship between the lynx and
hares.

We have to adjust the reading of the number lynx harvest

up to 210 (graph 1)
And we increase it into 460 (graph 2). We can predict
that as the number of hares increase, the number of lynx
also increase. Therefore , graph 1 and 2 show the
populations growth and decline through time of both
Lynx and Hares. From the graph , we can see that the
hares population lead the lynx population through cycle.

Advantages of using simulation

Enhance
student
motivation

students play an active role in their

learning process and build their own
knowledge through active interaction.

Allow

experiment
stella simulation software provides
useful features when the student can alters the
exploration
variables when using it.
Provide
risk-free
environme
students will become less fear to face
nt failure when doing their works on simulation.

Limitation of using simulation

Teachers lack of skills
-Teachers should equipped themselves with the knowledge and skill
on using simulations software.
-simulation also make the teacher feel burden because they have to
explore it themselves which costs a lot of time.

School lack of facilities and equipment

-It is hard to integrate simulation in learning process as the amount
of computers provided is still not sufficient.
-the school also do not afford to buy the simulations software as
some of them are very expensive.

Conclusion
Simulation is a very powerful tools in
assisting the teaching and learning process
in school.
They provide interesting and exciting mode
of learning to the new generation students.
Also promote the interesting learning to
students.
