Science Teacher, 1987
Provides reviews of four computer software packages designed for use in science education. Describes courseware dealing with a variety of tips for teaching physics concepts, chemical reactions in an aqueous solution, mitosis and meiosis, and photosynthesis. (TW)
Descriptors: Biology, Chemical Reactions, Chemistry, Computer Assisted Instruction
Jamieson, Ian – Kamehameha Journal of Education, 1995
Technology can be useful in physics classrooms, though teachers must be careful not to let technology remove students from first-hand experiences with nature through observation and experimentation. The paper examines how to enhance physics instruction using computers as graphing tools, for data collection, and as real-world simulators. (SM)
