 WHAT
STELLA
• STELLA (short for Systems Thinking,
Experimental Learning Laboratory
with Animation) is a visual
programming language modeling
introduced by Barry Richmond in
1985.
• STELLA has been used in academia
as a teaching tool and has been
utilized in a variety of research and
business applications.
SIMULATION
• Simulation is the manipulation of
model to a computerized version
which is run over time to study the
implications of defined interactions.
• Computer simulation is the
discipline of creating a model of an
actual or theoretical physical
system by carrying out the model
on a digital computer and
analyzing the output been carried
out.

 ADVANTAGE
• Teaching and Learning Process
become more interesting and
exciting
• Help the student to be more active
other than passive in the classroom
• Attract student attention and
motivation to study the subject
DISADVANTAGE
• High cost to buy the software
• Required training to build the
stimulation
• Teacher preferred to use the
traditional ways
• Students lacks of science process
skill
• The observer first adjust the mice knob (increase) in the Stella stimulation.
• Then click the button for “run the experiment”
• Lastly the graph will demonstrate the result that happen to the variable.

Interprets data:
Owls do not have enough source of food (mice) as the population of mice
decreased.
At the beginning of experiment the production of palm oil is low causing the
decreasing population of mice and owls. This is because the palm oil is the
producer of this food chain and they are also become source of food to mice.
At certain point, the population of mice increased as the population of owls
decrease (facing extinction). This make population of owls increase as the
population of mice increase.
Lastly, the production of palm oils increase when the population of mice
decrease because its been eaten by the owls.
• For second graph, the observer adjust the owls knob (increase).
• Then observer click the “run the experiment”.
• Lastly the graph will demonstrate the result that happen to the variable.

Interprets data:
The size population of mice low at first as the population of the owls high.
At certain point, the population of owls become decrease rapidly as the
population of the mice decrease because they do not have sufficient food to
survive.
As the production of palm oils increasing , the production of mice also
increase
Lastly, the production of palm oils become decrease due to the population of
mice increase.
• Last graph, the observer adjust both of the knob cause increasing of
parameter value of mice and owls.
• Then observer click the “run the experiment”.
• Lastly the graph will demonstrate the result that happen to the variable.

Interpret data:
The population of the owls is decreasing rapidly due to the low number
population of the mice.
The production of palm oils become increase as the population of mice low.
At certain time, the population of mice increase because of higher
production of palm oils as their source of food.
At last the production of palm oils decrease as they being eaten by the mice.
