Suggests a few approaches that will enable a person with some programming experience to incorporate graphic teletype output into simulation programs of interest in chemical education. (Author/PR)

A computer program that replaces a set of pharmacology and physiology laboratory experiments on live animals or isolated organs is described and illustrated. Five experiments are simulated: dose-effect relationships on smooth muscle, blood pressure and catecholamines, neuromuscular signal transmission, acetylcholine and the circulation, and…

Describes the use of computer spreadsheet programs in physical chemistry classrooms. Stresses the application of bar graphs to fundamental quantum and statistical mechanics. Lists the advantages of the use of spreadsheets and gives examples of possible uses. (ML)

Describes the process of planning, designing and implementing a computer-assisted design laboratory to serve both a freshman engineering graphics and a sophomore engineering design course. Discusses some of the impact that this development had on other college facilities. Includes goals, testing, installation, current use, examples of assignments,…

Evaluates two Apple II interfacing packages designed to measure pH: (1) "Experiments in Chemistry" by HRM Software and (2) "Voltage Plotter III" by Vernier Software. Provides characteristics and screen dumps of each package. Reports both systems are suitable for high school or beginning college laboratories. (MVL)
