INTRODUCTION

• STELLA is an example of simulation model that helps to

solve problems or events that can be used to teach
someone how to do a process of making a model.

• It also was packaged with an easy, intuitive interface that

allows users to construct dynamics models that stimulate
biological systems.
Normal Graph

 Buttons provided may enhance

students exploration towards
experiment.

 Based on the graph:

 The production of palm oil
depends on the population of
rats and owls.

 Simulation can make students

more excited to conduct any
experiments.
Abnormal graph
Owls population
 Population of owls increase slightly at the
beginning
 It started to decrease drastically to zero after a
few years
Rats population
 Very low at first
 After few years, it started to increase gradually
(because of no predators)
Palm oil plants
 Slowly increasing throughout the year
 Started to decrease due to increasing number of
rats

There was equilibrium among these three variables.

To cope with this situation, we can implement
biological method (biological control).
Abnormal graph

 The manipulating variable only for owl

population
 From the graph , student can predict
the population of owl will affect the
population of rat to be increase.
 The graph can be interpreted by the
student and can explore the trend
 Rate population of owl increase the
rate population of rat decrease while if
the rate of rat increase, the rate of owl
will increase too
