Describes laboratory procedures, demonstrations, and classroom activities/materials, including chi-square tests on a microcomputer, an integrated biology game, microscope slides of leaf stomata, culturing soil nematodes, technique for watering locust egg-laying tubes, hazards of biological chemicals (such as benzene, benzidene, calchicine,…

Emphasis on interfacing -- the various processes for passing information into or out of computers -- is suggested. Why the Texas Instruments microcomputer is plausible for this is noted, followed by specific interfacing suggestions, including programs for a timer and the assembly language subroutine. (MNS)

Indicates some of the information that may be obtained from a binary solid-liquid phase equilibria experiment and a method to write a computer program that will plot an ideal phase diagram to which the experimental results may be compared. (Author/CP)

Describes an experiment on the simultaneous determination of chromium and magnesium by spectophotometry modified to include the Generalized Standard Addition Method computer program, a multivariate calibration method that provides optimal multicomponent analysis in the presence of interference and matrix effects. Provides instructions for…

Describes a computer model kinetic theory experiment for the college physical chemistry laboratory. (HM)

A simple analog computer program is described which, in conjunction with a dual-trace storage oscilloscope, can demonstrate travelling and standing waves, the effect of various reflection coefficients, standing wave ratios, and other wave phenomena. (Author/CP)

Described is the use of two models of pocket calculators. The Hewlett-Packard HP67 and the Texas Instruments TI59, to solve problems arising in connection with ionic equilibria in solution. A three-parameter regression program is described and listed as a specific example, the hydrolysis of hexavalent uranium, is provided. (BT)

Describes programs that have been developed to allow kinetic experiments to be simulated on a small computer. Reports the principles that have guided the conception of the programs and describes an instance of their application to a complex reaction. (Author/GS)
