A BASIC computer program is given that simulates the effects of alcohol. A student enters his/her weight, the number of hours of drinking, the kind of alcoholic beverage consumed, and the number of drinks consumed. The program also prints the resulting effect on behavior. (MP)

Briefly describes two computer simulations for teaching chemistry: the first involves a decision-making simulation in the context of the development of a mining operation; the second consists of an attempt to invest a limited sum of money to make enough energy to meet predicted energy needs in the U.K. for several decades in the future. (VT)

Describes three case studies of the Huntington II POLUT model, which was run on both the University of Waikato computer system and a bank of four TRS-80s. Prospects for the development of computer based environmental education in New Zealand are also discussed. (LLS)

The computer is used to simulate repetitions of games used in teaching expected value. Details of the games and the computer programs are given. (MP)

Computers are beginning to be used more frequently as instructional tools in secondary school social studies. This is especially true of "new social studies" programs; i.e., programs which subordinate mere mastery of factual content to the recognition of and ability to deal with the social imperatives of the future. Computer-assisted…

The problem deals with calculating the probability that two or more students in a given class have the same birthday. A sample of an experiment that can be carried out by hand in a class is first noted. A program written in BASIC and a sample run is then presented. (MP)

A program at the secondary school-level used microcomputers in multigrade math and science courses. The microcomputers reinforced science and math lessons in three ways: through drill and practice, simulations, and program writing. (JN)

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.…

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)

Eight categories of software available for educational use (including tutorial, games, administrative utilities, and simulation) are described and the application of a microcomputer for hearing impaired secondary students at the Iowa School for the Deaf is detailed. Software selection criteria are considered. (CL)

Describes a computer program used to simulate Drosophila breeding and reproduction. The format of the program involved is presented as a part of the article. (PEB)

Instructions for using the Huntington II Simulation Program - POLUT are contained in this resource handbook. POLUT is a program written in BASIC which provides simulation of the interaction between water and waste. It creates a context within which the user can control specific variables which affect the quality of a water resource. The output is…

A computer program is presented which simulates the classical probability machine, using Applesoft II high-resolution graphics. Many variables are left to the user's choosing. Suggestions for using the machine, understanding the problem, the mathematical model, and further program documentation are given. (MNS)
