Microcomputer Simulation of Real Gases--Part 1.

Peer reviewed

Sperandeo-Mineo, R. M.; Tripi, G. – Physics Education, 1987

Describes some simple computer programs designed to simulate the molecular dynamics of two-dimensional systems with a Lennard-Jones interaction potential. Discusses the use of the software in introductory physics courses at the high school and college level. (TW)

Computer Series, 85. Werner and Jorgensen: Presenting History with a Computer.

Peer reviewed

Whisnant, David M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1987

Describes a computer simulation which deals with the Werner-Jorgensen controversy from the standpoint of Kuhn's description of scientific change. Encourages the use of such instructional approaches to introduce general chemistry students to the process of science, including how (1) theories develop, (2) change occurs, and (3) scientists behave.…
