- Abstract
The article focuses on the study of node graph visualizations using a virus transmission simulation conducted to eight-grade students. The objective of the study is to enhance the analytical skills of the students, with the introduction of a graph, the node graph. In this lesson, the students served as vectors for an artificial virus and collected data as the artificial virus spread through the population of students, wherein after the simulation was terminated, student information was collected and graphed using the node-graph software. Result shows that students in the eight grade are old enough to understand about viral and bacterial infections and the mechanisms by which they spread.
