A description of the commercially produced Harris Data Memory is presented. Operation instructions, memory capabilities, data storage, and applications are included. Usefulness of the instrument to instruction in all of the sciences is considered. (SA)

Describes a computer program designed to enable undergraduate students to apply computer skills for data acquisition and processing in experimental chemistry. An example is given that examines the absorption spectra of conjugated molecules such as carbocyanine dyes, and the free electron model is explained. (six references) (LRW)

This paper describes the first phase of a study to investigate students' evaluations of computer laboratory modules in a university-level, non-majors biology course. The National Science Foundation-funded project has two primary goals: (1) to develop programmable, multifunctional Bio LabStations for data collection and analysis, lab extensions,…

Discusses the concern for safety in chemistry courses. Includes a medical information form on which students can provide information that may be important if an emergency should occur. (TW)
