Peer reviewedNeale, Martha; Kellogg, Ted – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1984
Relates the experiences of a naive computer-using teacher attempting to integrate the microcomputer into a course unit on human anatomy. Based on these experiences, advice is offered to others who are incorporating computers into their courses for the first time. (JN)

Peer reviewedPowers, Michael H. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1986
Describes hardware and software requirements for interfacing a thermometer probe, via an analog and digital converter, to any Commodore PET, VIC-20, or Commodore-64 microcomputer (or other microcomputers with some modifications). Also describes use of the probe in an experiment measuring enthalpies of reaction to determine enthalpy of formation of…
