O'Brien, James F. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 1989
Describes laboratory-oriented software programs that are short, time-saving, eliminate computational errors, and not found in public domain courseware. Program availability for IBM and Apple microcomputers is included. (RT)
Descriptors: Chemistry, College Science, Computation, Computer Software

Breneman, G. L.; Parker, O. J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1987
Discusses the possibility of having chemistry students do their own computer programing that could then be used to solve problems in general chemistry. Describes such an effort at Eastern Washington University. Provides examples of some of the student programs and printouts. (TW)
Descriptors: Chemistry, College Science, Computer Assisted Instruction, Computer Uses in Education

Mandell, Alan; Lucking, Robert – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1989
Compares a program written both in BASIC and LOGO on its inferential and decision making ability. Explains steps in each program and how deductions and decisions are made. (MVL)

Vacher, Henry Leonard – Journal of Geological Education, 1989
This article presents a vector-analysis approach to the classical three-point problem in hydrogeology. Problem sets involving strike and dip, and ground water flow including computer programs (in BASIC) for their solution are given. (CW)

Venugopalan, Mundiyath – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1990
Described in this article is a problem-solving activity which integrates the application of microcomputers with the learning of physical chemistry. Students use the program with spectroscopic data to calculate the thermodynamic properties and compare them with the values from the thermochemical tables. (Author/KR)

Moore, John W., Ed. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1987
Describes eight applications of the use of computers in teaching chemistry. Includes discussions of audio frequency measurements of heat capacity ratios, quantum mechanics, ab initio calculations, problem solving using spreadsheets, simplex optimization, faradaic impedance diagrams, and the recording and tabulation of student laboratory data. (TW)
Descriptors: Chemistry, College Science, Computer Assisted Instruction, Computer Simulation

Troutner, Joanne – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1987
Discusses some of the variables teachers must consider when using computer software in the science classroom. Describes eight commercially available computer programs that are designed to teach problem solving in science. Includes the producer's address, the grade level for which the program was written, and a critique. (TW)
