Peer reviewedDaw, Harold A. – Physics Teacher, 1991
Evaluates the technical efficacy of the V-Scope in measuring motion produced by a phonograph turntable, a template furnished by the manufacturer, a free-fall apparatus, some pendula, a gyroscope, and three air tables. Concludes that the V-Scope gives excellent results and is easy to use. (MDH)

Peer reviewedMahoney, Joyce; And Others – Physics Teacher, 1988
Evaluates 10 courseware packages covering topics for introductory physics. Discusses the price; sub-topics; program type; interaction; possible hardware; time; calculus required; graphics; and comments on each program. Recommends two packages in projectile and circular motion, and three packages in statics and rotational dynamics. (YP)

Peer reviewedKirkup, L. – Physics Education, 1986
Describes the implementation of a trajectory-plotting program for a microcomputer; shows how it may be used to demonstrate the focusing effect of a simple electrostatic lens. The computer program is listed and diagrams are included that show comparisons of trajectories of negative charges in the vicinity of positive charges. (TW)

Peer reviewedNissan, M.; And Others – Physics Education, 1988
Describes a special camera that can be directly linked to a computer that has been adapted for studying movement. Discusses capture, processing, and analysis of two-dimensional data with either IBM PC or Apple II computers. Gives examples of a variety of mechanical tests including pendulum motion, air track, and air table. (CW)

Peer reviewedSong, Xueshu – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1992
Suggests that intuition and visualization are effective methods of introducing engineering principles to pre-engineering students. Describes the development of computer simulation software as part of a "Pre-Engineering College On Disk" course. The computer game helps students visualize the relationship between shell trajectory and its…
