Reports on acquiring and analyzing enzyme kinetics data using Apple microcomputers. Describes the experimental background and procedures, instrumentation, cautions, and construction aids. Cites applications which illustrate the use of a computer in a laboratory exercise. (RT)

Discusses the use of a computer software package called ASYST for general laboratory computing. Describes the software's capacity for acquiring data in a flow injection analysis experiment. Reviews the series of commands used by students in carrying out the experiment. (TW)

Discusses the problems created by the insufficient number of major data collection and analysis instruments in most college chemistry courses. Suggests the use of less expensive microcomputer-controlled instrument emulators, which resemble the actual instruments. Discusses the application of one such emulator in an instrumental analysis course.…

Describes a first-year chemistry laboratory experiment which uses a simple computer program written in BASIC, to analyze data collected by students about the density of a set of marbles. A listing of the program is provided, along with a sample printout of the experiment's results. (TW)

Science projects which can be used by high school students who have minimal experience with computers or electronics are presented in this book on laboratory interfacing. These laboratory interfacing projects include either the connecting of measuring instruments directly to a computer or using a computer to control external devices. All of the 14…
