Describes a Simple Huckel Molecular Orbital (SHMO) computer program written in BASIC and suitable for use on a variety of common microcomputers. (SK)

Examples of computer simulation programs as instructional devices. (RA)

This report gives examples of diverse educational strategies in science and engineering education to illustrate the capabilities of the PLATO III computer-based education system. The basic structure of the TUTOR language is discussed and some technical details are given to explain how the PLATO III system works. A brief description of the…

The current curriculum modules under development at Project Solo are listed. The modules are grouped under the subject matter that they are designed to teach--algebra II, biology, calculus, chemistry, computer science, 12th grade math, physics, social science. Special programs written for use on the Hewlett-Packard Plotter are listed that may be…

Presents computer simulations of diffusion, equilibria, molecular movement across a membrane, moving quanta at random between atoms, nuclear disintegration, and nuclear decay and half life. (GS)

Presents three activities: (1) the investigation of the purity and stability of nicotinamide and flavin coenzymes; (2) desk-computer fitting of a two-exponential function; and (3) an interesting and inexpensive solubility product experiment for introductory chemistry. (RH)

Discusses computer/computing experiences at Ardsley High School (Westchester County, New York) to foster computer literacy and to show students how computers can be used to check/verify calculations. Focuses on programs developed for chemistry classes and problems with commercially available programs for physics. (JN)

Discusses numerical solution of the one-dimension Schrodinger equation. A PASCAL computer program for the Apple II which performs the calculations is available from the authors. Also discusses quantization and perturbation theory using microcomputers, indicating benefits of using the addition of a perturbation term to harmonic oscillator as an…

Computer-assisted instructional programs in seven content areas--mathematics, social science, physics, chemistry, biology, business and economics--are listed and described. These programs have been selected by content specialists as representative of the field and available for test purposes in connection with the regional network of Computers at…

Presents a complete computer program demonstrating the relationship between volume/pressure for Boyle's Law, volume/temperature for Charles' Law, and volume/moles of gas for Avagadro's Law. The programing reinforces students' application of gas laws and equates a simulated moving piston to theoretical values derived using the ideal gas law.…

A compilation of BASIC computer programs developed by teachers and students involved in the Huntington Computer Project is presented. The programs are grouped by subject area. The six subject areas are biology, earth science, chemistry mathematics, physics, social studies, and teacher assistance. For each program, the following information is…

CONDUIT reviews and packages computer-based materials as alternative methods of teaching in higher education. Curriculum areas include biology (4 packages), chemistry (3), management science (9), mathematics (2), physics (6), and social science (17). This catalog individually describes the programs including suggested previous coursework, specific…

The programs in these three booklets are designed to demonstrate how the computer can be applied to the problems of many disciplines. The problems and the corresponding computer programs are, for the most part, quite simple and are designed to be "jumping-off points" for students from the high school level up. Programs include one or more from…

Provided is a list of educational software arranged alphabetically by manufacturer. Entries include name, system requirements, current cost, and a brief description. A wide variety of subject areas, educational levels, and formats (drill/practice, games, tutorials, and others) are included. (JN)
