Tinker, Robert – Hands On!, 1985
Bank Street Laboratory (a set of hardware/software tools for measuring temperature, light, and sound) consists of a board that plugs into Apple microcomputers, cabling, software, and six probes. Discusses the laboratory's hardware, including the analog-to-digital converter, multiplier chip, and modular connectors. Circuit diagrams of components…

Tinker, Robert F. – 1985
Recent technological advances and new software packages put unprecedented power for experimenting and theory-building in the hands of students at all levels. Microcomputer-based laboratory (MBL) and model-solving tools illustrate the educational potential of the technology. These tools include modeling software and three MBL packages (which are…

Saltinski, Ronald – Natural History, 1984
Surveys various types of science-oriented computer software, including simulations, tutorials, drill and practice programs, statistical programs, and computer-monitored experiments. Includes a list of 14 programs (indicating program name, source, RAM needed, compatible computers, and current cost) representative of these software types. (JN)

Helgeson, Stanley L. – 1988
This ERIC Digest presents a brief description of some applications and findings of the microcomputer in science classrooms. It is suggested that microcomputer simulations are at least as effective as hands-on experiences for some cognitive outcomes and may in fact enhance these outcomes when the simulations are sequenced to follow hands-on…
