Program listing for a computer game on kinematics is provided. Documentation for the listing (in Microsoft BASIC) and rationale for using computer games in the classroom are also provided. (JN)

Discusses computer/computing experiences at Ardsley High School (Westchester County, New York) to foster computer literacy and to show students how computers can be used to check/verify calculations. Focuses on programs developed for chemistry classes and problems with commercially available programs for physics. (JN)

Suggests approaches to teaching computer programing and applications to physics instruction. Indicates that the necessity of breaking a problem down into a programable entity ensures that the student will learn programing, logical sequential thinking, as well as physics content. (JN)

An experimental program for secondary school science students, Computer Supplemented Instruction in Science (CSI Science), was proposed to provide terminal time for all students, provide problem-solving and simulation experience, and identify those students who would most benefit from a computer-based science course. Results indicated students…

Describes fourteen different BASIC computer programs to aid teaching secondary physics. (SL)

This research project was designed to provide information which will be of assistance to science educators responsible for and interested in the development, implementation and evaluation of educational programs and courses designed to foster computer literacy. A questionnaire concerning computer use in the classroom was answered by 3,576 science…

Describes a microcomputer-controlled system which determines the current/voltage characteristics of a resistor, lamp, and diode, detailing system elements, construction, and providing printout of the program developed to provide control and arithmetic functions necessary to complete the experiment. (SK)

Describes three main areas of computer application in science classrooms, discusses problems of selecting microcomputers (hardware) and programs (software) for classroom use, and evaluates the prospects for successful use of computers in science teaching. (Author/JN)

Suggests that students are able to learn science processes and skills using microcomputers. Discusses a program (used in a research project) recording estimates students make of "popping balloons" and time taken to make estimates, and making presentation easy/difficult so skill processing could be varied. (JN)

Describes the modification of computer programs (BISON and POLLUT) to accommodate species and areas indigenous to the Pacific Coast area. Suggests that these programs, suitable for PET microcomputers, may foster a long-term, ongoing, inquiry-directed approach in biology. (DS)

Provided is an annotated list of 27 computer-oriented publications (magazines and journals). Annotations include nature/scope of publication, source, 1983 cost, and when applicable, comments on potential classroom use(s). Also indicates that information in the publication is directed toward a specific audience/computer or of general interest. (JN)

Reported is the Cooperative College-School Science Program in Computing Science Education which was conducted by the University of Colorado Department of Civil Engineering in the summer of 1967. The program consisted of two five-week terms. The course work was composed of two formal lecture courses in Computer Related Mathematics and Computer…

Describes two computer programs in which students select chemical substances and amounts for use on an imaginary trip. Written in BASIC, the 400-statement program is suitable for use on microcomputers. (SK)
