- 1. SS13013 INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY IN SCIENCE SIMULATION OF STELLA SOTWARE (PREDATOR PREY DYNAMICS) Prepared by: Nurul Noorerwany Binti A Jeffry (D20131063865) Nurasyikin Binti Saidin (D20131063859)
- 2. STELLA SOFTWARE • To prove the effectiveness of simulation and modelling in teaching and learning process • STELLA offers a practical way to dynamically visualize and communicate how complex systems and ideas really works • STELLA is used to simulate a system over time - Students may predict what will happen next for the experiment - Trigger students to think more about what will happen next in the experiment if they increased the data
- 3. Graph 1 : 0 size of time lynx harvest - The graph show straight horizontal line between hares and also lynx - The system is still maintain as there are no threaten on hares - The ecosystem is still at equilibrium
- 4. Graph 2 : 300 size of time lynx harvest - The graph became unstable - Shortage of prey means that the predator has to compete each other for food - At certain time the number of hare also decrease - When the number of predator increase, the number of prey also increase
- 5. Graph 3 : 700 size of time lynx harvest - The graph became more unstable - Shortage of prey means that the predator has to compete each other for food - At certain time the number of hare also decrease - When the number of predator increase, the number of prey also increase
- 6. ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES 1) Offers the opportunity to experiment with phenomena or event 2) Give the student more feeling for reality in some abstract fields of learning 3) Bonus for the teacher to explain a difficult interrelationship 1) Simulation error 2) It can be quite expensive to build a simulation model
- 7. CONCLUSION • STELLA have the potential to enhance the way of the teaching and the students learning • It is suitable for teacher to use it in school • They allow teachers to bring even the most abstract concepts of life for students
