This article describes the design, preparation, and initial evaluation of a set of computer-simulated chemistry experiments. The experiments entailed the use of an atomic emission spectroscope and a single-beam visible absorption spectrophometer. (Author/IRT)

This description of the use of "probeware," i.e., hardware which connects to a microcomputer and works with the software to measure factors such as temperature, light, or motion in science laboratory experiments, uses as an example an experiment which would involve the measurement of pendulum motion using the "Precision Timer…

The setup described here for recording chemical transient phenomena is intended to be simple and an instructive example of interfacing experiments that can be performed on any microcomputer possessing adequate memory and input-output facilities. (BB)

Describes the use of a small digital computer to simulate a peripheral nerve demonstration in which the action potential responses to pairs of stimuli are used to illustrate the properties of excitable membranes. (Author/MA)

Describes a student computer experiment that shows how the properties of the star, the temperature, and the opacity determine the nature of the observed spectrum of a star. (MLH)

Describes a computer simulation experiment in which physical chemistry students can determine all of the kinetic parameters of a reaction, such as order of the reaction with respect to each reagent, forward and reverse rate constants for the overall reaction, and forward and reverse activation energies. (MLH)

Describes an experiment in which general and physical chemistry students can determine the heat of vaporization of a volatile substance from experimental laboratory data using timesharing techniques. (MLH)

Describes a computer aided analysis and subsequent assessment of analytical (pharmaceutical) chemistry data from an undergraduate laboratory course. (Author/GA)

Describes the use of an interactive computer terminal for introductory laboratory experiments. (SL)

Describes an experiment using an analog computer which allows students to work with familiar problems, and to program the computers themselves. (SL)

Modeled after the program "Mastermind," this program teaches students the art of protein sequencing. The program (written in Turbo Pascal for the IBM PC, requiring 128K, a graphics adapter, and an 8070 mathematics coprocessor) generates a polypeptide whose sequence and length can be user-defined (for practice) or computer-generated (for…

Describes a computer-based instructional unit in cardiovascular physiology. The program (which employs simulated laboratory experimental techniques with a problem-solving format is designed to supplement an animal laboratory and to offer students an integrative approach to physiology through use of microcomputers. Also presents an overview of the…

Discusses the use of computers in physics education as a tool in individual student research projects for simulating both simple and more complicated phenomena. Reviews IBM compatible software associated with computer-assisted instruction in physics education. (PR)

This experiment provides an excellent practical application of computer-controlled spectrometers. (BB)

Describes two experiments in college chemistry which use microcomputers. One experiment deals with chemical oscillations, while the other involves colorimeter titration with laser excitation and computer-interfaced endpoint detection. (TW)
