We will get to learn about the simulation through the uses of simulation software. This software is created to make accurate models to represent the behaviour of real situation. By changing the variables on simulation software, we can make the predictions on the behaviour of the system. This simulation software has provided the science students with theoretical or simplified models of real-word phenomena.
benefits over real life experimentation?
-it provides significant advantages in terms of cost, time and repeatability when variability, disruption and complexity exist
-Bork (1981) remarks: 'Simulations provide students with experience that may be difficult or impossible to obtain in every day life'
-Foster (1984) says about this: 'Simulations can be entertaining because of dramatic and game-like components'
disadvantages of simulation?
-Expensive to build a simulation model.
-Expensive to conduct simulation.
-Sometimes it is difficult to interpret the simulation results.
