This study proposes a model for training inservice science teachers to teach with electronic spreadsheets. A case study in which this model was implemented by 16 biology teachers during a training period and 3 teachers during an induction period is described. (LZ)

Describes two general spreadsheet templates to carry out all types of one-equation chemical equilibrium calculations encountered by students in undergraduate chemistry courses. Algorithms, templates, macros, and representative examples are presented to illustrate the approach. (PR)

Presented are several simple kinetic systems together with the spreadsheets used to solve them. A set of exercises in chemical kinetics appropriate for an introductory course in physical chemistry is given. Error propagation calculations with experimental data are illustrated. (CW)
