 Computer animation:
o The illusion of movement created by showing a series of still pictures in
rapid succession
 Simulation o computer program, which uses a model to provide an interactive
representation Of a real-world system.
 Components of animated simulation?
o Still images, titles, credits and labels, frames of video, audio, background
music.
 Criteria of a good animation:
o 1- It should have a title , animation and credits scenes o 2- It should have
enough clear images or videos o 3- Used images or videos should moves
smoothly o 4- Are all images labelled ,where necessary ? o 5- It should
have appropriate and clear voice o 6- It should have accurate scientific
content o 7- It should make interesting modelling What is a Simulation?
is an animated model that mimics the operation of an existing or proposed system, like

•a flight simulator.
•Scientific experiments
•plant growth [ Green House ] Advantages of simulation

 safe and cheap

 Able to test a product
 find unexpected and try to solve these problems.
 explore ‘what if…’ questions.
 Can speed things up or slow them down to see changes

 Mistakes may be made in the programming  The cost of a simulation model

can be high
 Time may be needed to make sense of the results.
 People’s reactions to the model not realistic
=======================================================================
Criteria of a good simulation

 achieve goals
 respond to all questions
 Easy to use

Virtual Reality (VR)

is a computer-generated simulation in which a person can interact within an artificial
three-dimensional environment using electronic devices
How Virtual Reality is being used today? [ uses of virtual reality ]

 Movies
 Games
 Education
 In training and simulation
 What is database ?
o Is a collection of data that is stored in a computer system. databases allow
their users to enter, access, and analyze their data quickly and easily

 DBMS(database management system):

o Is a collection of programs that enables you to store, Modify, and extract

information from a database.
 What are the type of data base
- Flat data base : consist of one table
- Relational data base : consists of many tables

 Objects used to create data base :

- Tables
- query
- Forms
- Report

 Table : data base object which

consists of many records
 Field : is a piece of record which contain single data type
 Record : set of fields which contain different types of data

Short
• Are columns in a table to collect data about a
about a subject
Long text
• One of the field will be the Primary Key •
PK field identifies each record in a table
• Criteria for PK:
• 1. Not repeated
• 2. Not empty (NULL)

Lookup wizard : create list

 Query: A way of searching for and compiling data from one or more tables

▪ Types of query
• Fixed
• Parameter
Criteria : [ in session ]
primary key: is unique filed that identify each record
rules of primary key:
no duplicate
no null
