REFLECTION
Simulation is providing a concrete visual experience of the abstract, investigate life processes which are far too lengthy, study complex interactions, stimulate manufacturing processes, difficult, dangerous or costly experiment.
While, modelling is the expression of one’s ideas by constructing one’s own models. Modeling conjures up many different pictures in science teaching and learning for example a three-dimensional diagram of water molecule. Beside that, modeling using ICT enables student to explore the effects of changing data and relationship of physical systems, thus helping students to understand the phenomena involved. This method also very interactive where we can change the variable, so that we can make justification about something that will be happen from that changes.
Therefore, simulation and modeling can be used for the process that are complex and difficult to explain rather than let student to imagine it in their own which can result the possibility to misconception. This is because, simulation and modelling can help teacher to make something invisible visible.
In the ICT in Science course, we have to present our simulation and modelling. We have already choose to present Electrolytic Cell as a simulation and State of Matter as modelling. As a teacher in the future, we should apply this in our teaching to make something complex look very simple to student.
