INTRODUCTION
Simulation :
model or representations
the storyboard or model of any
project before it was developed
show the system or process on how
the operation is conducted
For education, STELLA is the
software use to show stimulation

Discussion

Figure 1
- Shows constant population size for
both species

Figure 2 & Figure 3

- parameter value of 270 and 380 , there are changes on both
population size.
- The hares population size increased from constant population size
as they have food source and the lynxs population size decreased
As the hares population size getting increased, the lynxs
population size also increased
- Related to lynxs hunting, hares population size has decreased and
keep going decrease. Besides the consequence from declining of
hare, lynxs population size also decrease.
- Then decreasing of lynxs population size produces less hunting of
hare therefore hares population size get the chance to reproduce
more and later on its population size increases.

Figure 4

 Size Lynx harvest is 600,

The early year show does not have any
changes in number of population.
Both show increase number of population.
Relationship is when the number Hare
higher, the number of Lynx also higher.
Reason- Lynx get enough food and can
reproduce more offspring.
Intersection between Lynx and Hares.
At 15 year, Lynx decrease in number due to
the Hares decrease.
because Lynx depend on the Hares as their
food.
It undergo same pattern until 60 years.

Figure 5

The size of 1 time Lynx harvest is 750

Early, number population both no changes
means no interaction prey and predator
Later, number of Lynx drop extremely and the
intersection between occur with Hares during this time.
The number of Lynx increased slowly compared to Hares
that increased until more than 450 000.
Higher number of Hares due to decrease number of Lynx.
The intersection occur when Lynx is 2000 while Hares
300000.
At 15 years, Lynx slowly decrease in number together
with Hares that reach 0 number of population.
Extreme change Hares due to problem in population
dynamic means Hares death and birth not balanced.
Number of Lynx do not decrease until it reach at 0 like
Hares.
Pattern is same through 15 years until 60 years.

Conclusion
STELLA is a software which help in reading the data of experiment by
showing through graphs. The simulation given gives advantages to
students when conducting experiments. From simulation also we can see
pattern of changes clearly and precise because less error is produced as
handle using computer.
Besides that by using STELLA, it gives result quickly as soon as we run the
parameter. Therefore students will not waste their time in drawing the
graph to see the relationship in experiments variables. Plus, students may
have much time to analyse and synthesise the experiment about. Thus
discussion session between students and teacher can occur also practice
students to think critically with much time they have. Next, we can change
the parameter value to study the various linking and relationship of
experiment which gives different result.
We can see the benefits we might get from using model and simulation
thus it should be conducted to all schools. Performance of students also
better when using this technique because they can get real data of
experiment and get clear understanding on what the experiment is about.
