This document discusses the use of simulation and modelling in biology and physics education. It provides examples of simulating mitosis and modelling wave properties. The advantages of using simulation for mitosis are that teachers can compare real and animated mitosis, students can clearly see and identify stages, and steps can be repeated. Modelling waves allows controlling variables simultaneously, saves time over physical experiments, and allows teachers to clearly demonstrate wave movement.

6. UNIQUE FEATURES
 ADVANTAGES OF USING SIMULATION
- TEACHERS ARE ABLE TO MAKE COMPARISON BETWEEN
MITOSIS THAT HAPPEN IN REAL CELL AND IN
ANIMATED FORM.
- THE STAGES IN MITOSIS ARE SHOWN CLEARLY AND
THE STEPS CAN BE REPEATED.
- STUDENTS CAN UNDERSTAND AND IDENTIFY THE
STAGES IN MITOSIS VERY WELL.

7.  ADVANTAGES OF USING MODELLING
- THE 3 VARIABLES (AMPLITUDE,FREQUENCY AND DAMPING)
CAN BE CONTROLLED AT THE SAME TIME
- SAVE TIMES
* THE EXPERIMENT CAN BE CARRIED OUT IMMEDIATELY
* DO NOT NEED TO SET UP THE APPARATUS
- MORE EFFICIENT
*THE DATA COLLECTED IS MORE ACCURATE
- TEACHERS CAN SHOW TO THEIR STUDENTS THE
MOVEMENT OF THE WAVE VERY CLEARLY
