Hydrogen bonds are very important chemical structures that are responsible for many unique and important properties of solvents, such as the solvation power of water. These distinctive features are directly related to the stabilization energy conferred by hydrogen bonds to the solvent. Thus, the characterization of hydrogen bond energetics has…

In today's knowledge economy, technology is utilized more than ever to deliver instructional material to the learner. Nonetheless, information may not always be presented in a manner that maximizes the learning experience, resulting in a negative impact on learning outcomes. Drawing on the Task-Technology Fit model, a research framework was…

An experiment assigned in a role-playing'' modern physics lab for juniors who are challenged to obtain accurate measurement with suboptimum apparatus through correct analysis. They also investigate the influence of systematic errors using a small computer. (DF)

Describes an undergraduate physical chemistry experiment in which the kinetics of the various reactions involved in the flash photolysis of water are analyzed on a computer. (MLH)

Describes three computer programs designed to control and execute standard methods for paired associate learning. They can be used in classroom demonstrations or laboratory exercises in experimental psychology. (RM)

Describes the use of a simulation lesson which is written in TUTOR language for the PLATO computer for the purpose of separating a mixture of four ions with known identity. Indicates that students have more freedom to experiment than in laboratories in other traditional computer-assisted programs. (CC)

Describes the use of computer-assisted graphical displays in experiments to determine the order and activation energy for a chemical reaction. (MLH)

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

Discusses the use of a simple computer exercise to derive a general law for simple pendulum phenomena with square-law damping. Indicates that less mathematical skills are requires in the computer treatment than in the analytical treatment.

Describes the use of a time-sharing computer and an x-y plotter in a variation of the laboratory exercise on the physical pendulum. (HM)

This high school physics computer software resource is a systems and control simulator that covers the topics of electricity, electronics, mechanics, and programming. Circuits can easily be simulated on the screen and electronic and mechanical components can be combined. In addition to those provided in Crocodile Technology, a student can create…
