A relatively simple Gaussian-type diffusion simulation model for calculating urban carbon (CO) concentrations as a function of local meteorology and the distribution of traffic is described. The model can be used in two ways: in the synoptic mode and in the climatological mode. (Author/BL)

Presented are detailed instructions for a demonstration to simulate for educators the experience of the disabled reader. (DB)

Looks at the use of simulations and games as research instruments in education. Examines two applications of simulations as research instruments and a major problem that stands in the way of their use. (Author/DN)

Describes a conceptual scheme that will help elementary school children understand the occupations and types of work he learns about in school. (SB)

Offers a variety of thoughts and some concrete suggestions for teachers. (Editor)

Parents and school board members gain a greater appreciation for how the other thinks. (WM)

Author presents a representative sampling of worthwhile materials that are available and which were chosen to show variations in the tools used in environmental education programs. (Author/CB)

Reports a test of the stability of the model used in Jay Forrester's World Dynamics''. When Forrester's fundamentally Malthusian assumptions were replaced by technological-optimist views, computer simulations predicted a stable population with increasing quality of life, rather than a population crash and decreasing quality of life.

This study compared two training methods for preparing counselors to discriminate verbal, facial, and voice cues that are associated with the emotion of depression. Results showed programmed text treatment to be more effective in teaching discrimination of depressive cues than the video presentation. (Author)

Describes a company established to stimulate the interest of sixth formers in industrial scientific fields and the chemical industry. Interest can be generated by letting the students be concerned with the decision making and problem solving normally encountered in industry. (DF)

Attempts to briefly answer why computers should enter the educational scene, and how can they be effectively employed in this context. With emphasis on physics, several operating systems used in England and the United States are described. (TS)
