Peer reviewedCalle, Carlos I.; Wright, Lavonia F. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1989
Lists a program for a simulation of Rutherford's gold foil experiment in BASIC for both Apple II and IBM compatible computers. Compares Rutherford's model of the atom with Thompson's plum pudding model of the atom. (MVL)
Descriptors: Atomic Structure, Atomic Theory, College Science, Computer Graphics
Peer reviewedVenugopalan, Mundiyath – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1989
Lists a BASIC program which computes the equilibrium constant as a function of temperature. Suggests use by undergraduates taking a one-year calculus-based physical chemistry course. Notes the program provides for up to four species, typically two reactants and two products. (MVL)
Descriptors: Chemical Equilibrium, Chemical Reactions, Chemistry, College Science
Peer reviewedSievers, Dennis; Wilson, Alan – Science Teacher, 1989
Describes a method for making a simple, inexpensive apparatus which can be used to determine Planck's constant. Provides illustrations of a circuit diagram using one or more light-emitting diodes and a BASIC computer program for simplifying calculations. (RT)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Uses in Education, Experiential Learning, Laboratory Equipment
Peer reviewedPizarro, Antonio – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1989
Provides a listing of a software graphics program that investigates the law of reflection and Snell's law of refraction. Written in BASIC for the Apple II personal computer. (MVL)
Descriptors: Computer Graphics, Computer Simulation, Computer Software, Computer Uses in Education
Peer reviewedLough, Tom; Tipps, Steve – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1988
Discusses chaotic behavior (movement) in a nonlinear system using LOGO programs. Presents several examples with program listings. (MVL)
Descriptors: Chaos Theory, College Science, Computer Graphics, Computer Oriented Programs
Peer reviewedKirkup, Les – Physics Education, 1987
Describes efforts of members of the biology and physics departments of Paisley College (Scotland) to develop a simple light-emitter-detector arrangement adapted as a colorimeter interfaced with a microcomputer for use by undergraduate students. Discusses the setup and provides a computer program in BASIC to run it. (CW)

Peer reviewedWeller, Herman G.; Johnson, Vivian – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1992
Describes a unit for teaching exponential change in a noncalculus physics course by having students write recursive procedures in LOGO to graphically represent linear and exponential change. Summarizes the experience of implementing the unit in a segment on radioactive decay. Modifications to the unit are suggested for teaching exponential change…
