Reflections on Simulation and Modelling

REFLECTION OF SIMULATION AND MODELLING

We are instructed to learn this simulation and modelling ways of learning by using the trial program of STELLA by isee system.Stella is a program that offers a practical way to dynamically visualize and communicate how complex systems and ideas really work.Whether they are first-time or experienced modelers, teachers, students, and researchers use STELLA to explore and answer endless questions like:

How does climate change influence an ecosystem over time? Would Hamlet’s fate have changed if he’d killed Claudius earlier? How do oil prices respond to shocks in supply and/or demand? What will happen when the ozone layer is gone? How do basic macroeconomic principles affect income and consumption?

After using the Stella software to do some simulation i found that it is a very interesting way of learning new things.This simulation and learning does not only give us many options on how we want to conduct the simulation but it can be done anywhere because it on a virtual world.It's not like the real practical where u need to choose the right time and prepare the material and substances beforehand.

  Furthermore, students are more likely understand the process involved as they can see clearly what happen up to the molecular and structural level.This simulation and modelling also cause students to think outside the box and will enhance their creativity.
