METHODOLOGI

For this report, there are several during conduct the STELLA Simulation
application. Firstly, we change the population to see the effect on the prey-
predator graph. After changing the population, we start to analyse the results by
referring on the graphs changes. Based on the model that we choose, there are
two ways that used to explore the structure of this model. However, we
obse;rved the essential structure of the models and just by clicking the spacebar
we can know the advance through the story of the structure of the prey-predator
interactions.

We followed the guide of the model by taking the guided tour and view the
entire model of the prey-predator interaction between owls and rats. All the
results from this report were collected and analysed based on the graph that we
were studied.

RESULTS :

Condition : Minimum population of rat and barn owl

Number of Rat : 6000

Number of Owl : 6
Based on the experiment are conducted by using the Stella software, the
number of rat are 6000 and the number of the barn owl are 6. The number of
both variable are decrease. The graph shown that the number of barn owl are
appear not enough on year and the number of the rat are continuously increase
throughout the year. However, the palm source are increase from the first year
and decrease starting at 25.00 years. This is because when the number of the
palm source will decrease due to larger amount of the rat that eat the palm
source. In conclusion, the lower the barn owl will increased the number of rat and
caused the palm source decrease at the year 25.00 due to the absent of the barn
owl.

Condition : Maximum population of rat and minimum population of barn owl

Number of Rat : 39000

Number of Barn Owl : 7


Based on the experiment are conducted by using the Stella software, the
number of rat are 39000 and the number of the barn owl are 7. The number of
both variable are decrease and increase rapidly. The graph shown that the
number of barn owl are appear so enough on year and the number of the rat are
continuously decrease throughout the year. However, the palm source are
increased continuous from the first year. This is because when the number of the
palm source will increase due to minimum amount of the barn owl that eat the
maximum amount of rats. In conclusion, the lower the barn owl will increased the
number of rat and caused the palm source increase at the first year due to the
minimum amount of the barn owl and maximum amount of the rats.

Condition : Minimum population of rat and maximum population of barn owl

Number of Rat : 6000

Number of Barn Owl : 19


Based on the experiment are conducted by using the Stella software, the
number of rat are 6000 and the number of the barn owl are 19. The one of the
variable are decrease and another variable are increase. The graph shown that
the number of barn owl are appear more enough on year and the number of the
rat are continuously decrease throughout the year. However, the palm source are
increase from the first year and decrease starting at 25.00 years. This is because
when the number of the palm source will decrease due to larger amount of the
rat that eat the palm source. The barn owl become decrease because not enough
amount of rat and barn owl maybe migration or die and also decrease of the
amount of barn owl. In conclusion, the lower the barn owl will increased the
number of rat and caused the palm source decrease at the year 25.00 due to the
absent of the barn owl.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, through the graph show the different pattern based on the
number of owl which have been controlled as variable. Using the simulation in
teaching and learning process will able student to learn relationship prey-
predator also will help to lean an experiment easier and use less time. Student
can explore new things even through not in formal class since there are software
that can be used to see the model and simulation such as STELLA. This situation
will help students to identifies and interpret the different data based on the
graph from the different variable. The simulation will increase the critical thinking
of the students by analysis and interpret data by using STELLA software. In
addition, this application will increase the motivation of the students to conduct
the experiment and interest with the lesson.
