Describes a program in which students develop a mathematical model, based on simple feedback loops, used for predicting consequences of varying ecological parameters. Presentation early in undergraduate course emphasizes use of statistics in ecology. (AL)

A short bibliography of books on games and gaming is presented as a summer reading program for elementary school teachers. (EJS)

Describes an introductory physics experiment concerned with scattering particles off various force centers. The experiment uses simulation techniques and a computer. The scattering is classical, and the student examines plots of computed particle trajectories. The results illustrate the concepts of differential corss-section, total cross-section,…

Describes a simulation package developed at Indiana University and provides the evaluation component of the multi-media package. (DM)
