H1N1 FLU OUTBREAKBY : MAHIRAH BINTI ZAINAL ABIDIN (D20141066919) MERINY JOREEN ANAK MATIAS (D20141066915)

INTRODUCTION H1N1 is a flu virus. When it was first detected in 2009, it was called “swine flu”

because the virus was similar to those found in pigs. The H1N1 virus is currently a seasonal flu virus found in

humans. Schools are the perfect environment for a virus to spread. To help understand why, STELLA model introduces the H1N1

virus.

The STELLA model is object-oriented programming environment.

STELLA models allow us to communicate how a system works – what

goes in, how the system is impacted, what are the outcomes.

We explore some strategies that schools are pursuing to limit the virus

spread.

We wanted to know if the “stay at home” (when students are sick) policy

would be effective in the case where vaccines are not available quickly

enough.

This project is done by dynamic simulation.

Dynamic simulation is the use of a computer program to model the

time varying behavior of a system.

This simulator can be used as an effective means for teaching or

demonstrating concepts to students.

By showing the model, the student can actually see what is

happening within the experiment. Such a simulator should also

permit students to speed up, slow down, stop or even reverse a

simulation as a means of aiding understanding.

OBJECTIVES

1. To enhance students understanding on the simulation.2. To ensure students can predict the outcomes at the end of learning and teaching process based on the simulation.

ADVANTAGES OF STELLA

Enable students to creatively change the systems. Teach students to relate more variables. Simulate a system over time Clearly communicate system inputs and outputs and

demonstrate outcomes. Jump the gap between theory and the real world.

CONCLUSION When we compare the number of sick students between the percentage of

vaccinated students and the average days of infected students stay home, it can be said that the most effective way to limit the outbreak of the H1N1 virus in school is by vaccinating the students.

From the simulation using Stella model, we as future teachers can help to enhance thinking skills of students by showing the data from the graph.

It will makes students to interpret data shown in the graph. Learning would be so fun by using this model because we can help

students to understand better on what they have learned and from the graph, students can predict the outcome of the experiment conducted by using the data shown in the graph.
