Peer reviewedDe Jong, Marvin L. – Physics Teacher, 1992
Studies the simple dynamical system of the pendulum and the chaotic behavior that occurs when the pendulum is both damped and driven. Provides an algorithm and BASIC program for the numerical solution to the differential equations encountered in the discussion. (MDH)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Chaos Theory, Computer Assisted Instruction, Differential Equations
Peer reviewedRisley, John S. – Physics Teacher, 1984
Evaluates two computer programs for Apple II which provide drill and practice in Newton's laws of motion and in work-energy relationships. Student performance is recorded on the diskette allowing the teacher to view the number of questions completed and percentage correct. (JM)

Peer reviewedKinderman, Jesusa Valdez – Physics Teacher, 1992
Describes a computer simulation of the Compton effect designed to lead students to discover (1) the relationship of the electron's final kinetic energy to its angle of scattering and (2) the relationship between the scattering angles of the outgoing electron and photon. (MDH)
