Examined is the use of the microcomputer as a tutor, for simulations of experiments, and to provide graphic interpretations of abstract concepts in the college biology setting. Discussed are computer enhanced courses being used, the software library, and the computer laboratory facility. Lists reasons for adoption of computer enhanced format. (MVL)

Studies the effect of V-Scope activities on the performance of 11th-grade students in analyzing kinematics graphs. Students were challenged to construct different kinds of graphs using their own movements as well as the motion of a dynamics cart. Results indicate that the V-Scope kinematics laboratory activities can promote kinematics concepts and…

Describes a project that prepares teachers to be computer literate by writing computer programs, constructing computer modules, and then integrating the teacher generated hardware and software into science laboratory experiences. Presents goals, descriptions of interface modules, reaction of participants, and objectives. (MVL)
