Provides a listing of a software graphics program that investigates the law of reflection and Snell's law of refraction. Written in BASIC for the Apple II personal computer. (MVL)
Descriptors: Computer Graphics, Computer Simulation, Computer Software, Computer Uses in Education
Peer reviewedLough, Tom; Tipps, Steve – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1988
Discusses chaotic behavior (movement) in a nonlinear system using LOGO programs. Presents several examples with program listings. (MVL)
Descriptors: Chaos Theory, College Science, Computer Graphics, Computer Oriented Programs
Peer reviewedSmith, Richard L., Ed. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1988
Reviews the Apple II program "Area and Volume" which investigates the areas and volumes of polygonal regions, circles, and solids for grades 6-12. Provides information updates on three programs: True BASIC 2.0, Turbo BASIC 1.0, and Microsoft QuickBASIC 3.0. (MVL)
Descriptors: Area, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Software Reviews, Computer Uses in Education
Peer reviewedLinn, Marcia C.; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1987
Reports on a study that investigated the effects of various instructional practices on programming proficiency focusing on characteristics of Pascal classes. States that instructional practices involve extensive on-line access, explicit instruction, and extensive feedback. (ML)
