Dalton, Joel B. – 1970
Three computer programs are presented that allow the high school student to explore and understand the physical forces involved in orbital flight at a greater depth than is usually possible. For each program, introductory material is given including the physics and mathematics involved. This is followed by the computer program in BASIC language.…

Mitchiner, R. G.; Leonard, R. G. – CoED, 1983
Interactive Simulation Language (ISL) is a highly interactive and graphics-oriented language. ISL use in senior design course and introductory system modeling/system behavior course is discussed (including instructional strategies, self-administered instruction, and problem assignment). A description of ISL (including block library and main menu)…

Wold, Allen L.; Hunter, C. Bruce – Science Activities, 1982
Program listing for a computer game on kinematics is provided. Documentation for the listing (in Microsoft BASIC) and rationale for using computer games in the classroom are also provided. (JN)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Programs, Educational Games, Microcomputers

Bayless, Philip L. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1976
Describes a simulated laboratory research project in which the thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of ammonia synthesis are simulated on a computer. (MLH)
Descriptors: Chemical Reactions, Chemistry, College Science, Computer Oriented Programs

Hamann, Donald R. – Physics Today, 1983
Addresses questions of the philosophy of computer use that cut across various specialities, providing examples to make these distinctions clear. Topics considered include numerical analysis, simulations, software, Fortran computer language, and hardware. Indicates that computers do more than analyze experimentors' data. (JN)
Descriptors: College Science, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Programs, Higher Education

Russell, T. W. F.; And Others – Chemical Engineering Education, 1982
Describes an advanced simulation illustrating how basic engineering skills can be combined with economic considerations and risk-taking judgments to effectively design and operate a chemical processing unit in a competitive environment. The simulation is used as one of five projects in a technical management course. (SK)
Descriptors: Chemical Industry, Chemistry, College Science, Computer Oriented Programs

Stein, T. S.; Dishman, L. G. – American Journal of Physics, 1982
Describes a ripple tank demonstration that displays interference patterns responsible for producing beats and provides photographs of computer simulations of various beat interference patterns. Includes programs for the computer simulation and equations of constructive interference paths in beat interference patterns. (Author/SK)
