Describes activity in which student in abnormal psychology and psychology of exceptional children classes personally experience being judged abnormal. The experience allows the students to remember relevant research, become sensitized to the feelings of individuals classified as deviant, and use caution in classifying individuals as abnormal.…

The author discusses the benefits of modeling (simulated experience where actual situations are reduced to manageable outcomes) and provides examples of how industrial arts educators can use modeling as a practical method of instruction. (JOW)

A step-by-step technique to alter stock composition teeth and create simulated carious conditions that are ideal or otherwise is presented. The procedures provide the student with life-like lesions, suitable in texture and location and similar to conditions found in the oral cavity. (MLW)

Recommends that group dynamics factors in simulation and gaming be given more consideration, and suggests some possible applications of knowledge in group dynamics when designing and using games. (CMV)

Describes the use of EXPER SIM (experimental simulation) as an instructional tool in speech communication research. Several sample models are offered along with a discussion of the advantages and drawbacks of using the computer for social science research. (JMF)

A list of 88 games appropriate for elementary level social studies is presented. Only games which may be played with large groups are included; board games are excluded. Each entry includes recommended grade levels, playing time, number of players, and cost. Addresses for each source are provided. (Author/KC)

Simulations and games should be investigated as a technique for bicultural-bilingual education programs. (MM)

This article suggests a teaching method, the Classic Studies Inquiry Simulation, which allows health educators to use the epidemiologic model to teach critical thinking skills. This technique is demonstrated for teaching major research designs and major rates used in epidemiology. (IAH)

Describes an inexpensive, easily prepared demonstration to teach the concepts of human blood grouping, antigen-antibody reactions, and medical transfusions. (ZWH)

Describes a chemistry software program that emulates a modern binary gradient HPLC system with reversed phase column behavior. Allows for solvent selection, adjustment of gradient program, column selection, detectory selection, handling of computer sample data, and sample preparation. (MVL)

"Gedankensimulation" is a term adapted from Einstein's "thought experiments" to indicate mentally created simulations that can help conceptualize ideas. Presents seven examples of simulations that can be utilized to solve problems or illustrate concepts in probability and statistics. Problem contexts include games of chance,…

This article provides a brief, select, annotated bibliography of guides and background materials on simulation games. (DE)

Criticisms of simulation procedures are noted and ways to ameliorate their effects are suggested. (KM)

A model for designing classroom simulations is proposed as a way to integrate values and social studies in the classroom. (Author/KM)
