 WHAT IS STELLA?

STELLA is a flexible computer modeling package

with an easy, intuitive interface that allow users
to construct dynamic models that realistically
simulate biological.

STELLA system is ideal to interface with students

investigative experiences.
RESULT
 PREDICTION

We can predict what will happen to our

experiment if we modify something.
For example, in the experiment of simple
population dynamics, we will repeat the
experiment with different value of the number of
rats and owls in a palm oil plant.
We will be able to predict what will happen next
because we are used with the changing of the
value of the number population of rats and owls
in this experiment.
 MOTIVATION

Make a prediction on the experiment, it can lead

us to discuss our reasoning as we argue for
different predicted results.
Exposed us to ideas that may be different from our
own, and gives us an opportunity to experiment
with those ideas.
Learning through the STELLA software does give a
different vibes in the way we learn.
We will not only learn based on what the teachers
said but learn with our own efforts to make the
learning process interesting and useful for us.
 ADVANTAGES

Study the effects of certain informational,

organizational, and environmental and policy changes
on the operation of a system and significantly reduces
the risk of experimenting with the real system.
Can avoid dangers and loss of life. This is because the
conditions can be varied and unpredictable in the real
situations. It is important to use the simulation as the
critical situations can be investigated without any risk.
we can obtain a better understanding of the system
by developing a mathematical model of a system of
interest, and observing the systems operation in
detail over long periods of time.
 CONCLUSION

Modeling and simulation can be powerful active

learning experiences.
It provides virtual dulication of products and
processes and represent those products or
processes in readily available and operationally
valid environments.
It is also offering opportunity for students to
manipulate content knowledge in an active
context which engage a variety of learning styles
and offers the opportunity to experiences the
subject matter in a dynamic ways.
