Peer reviewedBrosnan, Tim – School Science Review, 1990
Explored are ways in which spreadsheets can be used in the teaching of chemistry. Some of the limitations of using algebraic modelling tools are highlighted. Several example applications are provided. (CW)
Descriptors: Chemistry, College Science, Computer Software, Computer Uses in Education
Peer reviewedAmend, John R.; And Others – Journal of Chemical Education, 1990
Described is a laboratory interface system including hardware, software, and student activities. Student use of this system is reviewed stressing experimental design skills and student-designed experiments. (CW)
Descriptors: Chemistry, College Science, Computer Interfaces, Computer Software
Peer reviewedMealli, Carlo; Proserpio, Davide M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1990
A collection of Molecular Orbital (MO) programs that have been integrated into routines and programs to illustrate MO theory are presented. Included are discussions of Computer Aided Composition of Atomic Orbitals (CACAO) and Walsh diagrams. (CW)
Descriptors: Chemical Analysis, Chemistry, College Science, Computer Assisted Instruction
Peer reviewedBirk, James P., Ed. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1990
Reviewed are six computer programs which may be useful in teaching college level chemistry. Topics include dynamic data storage in FORTRAN, "KC?DISCOVERER," pH of acids and bases, calculating percent boundary surfaces for orbitals, and laboratory interfacing with PT Nomograph for the Macintosh. (CW)
Descriptors: Atomic Structure, Chemical Reactions, Chemistry, College Science
Peer reviewedBlickensderfer, Roger – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1990
Presented are several simple kinetic systems together with the spreadsheets used to solve them. A set of exercises in chemical kinetics appropriate for an introductory course in physical chemistry is given. Error propagation calculations with experimental data are illustrated. (CW)
Descriptors: College Science, Computation, Computer Software, Computer Uses in Education
Peer reviewedBirk, James P., Ed. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1990
Described are two applications of computers in chemistry. The multilinear equations and procedures used in obtaining a least-squares solution for curve fitting in chemistry are presented. Also discussed is the program "ATORB" which can be used to generate graphs of probable electron clouds for various atoms and molecules. (CW)
Descriptors: Atomic Structure, Chemistry, College Science, Computation
Peer reviewedConnolly, Walter, Ed. – Physics Teacher, 1989
Describes making laboratory apparatus such as a heavy-duty turntable; a hand-held milk-carton accelerometer; an inverted air table; free-fall measurement with a solenoid as a starting device; and a bright point source. Presents an evaluation of "The Champ Universal Interface and Sensor Pack Software." (YP)
Descriptors: College Science, Computer Interfaces, Computer Software Reviews, Higher Education
Peer reviewedJournal of Chemical Education, 1989
Presented are reviews of two computer software packages for Apple II computers; "Organic Spectroscopy," and "Videodisc Display Program" for use with "The Periodic Table Videodisc." A sample spectrograph from "Organic Spectroscopy" is included. (CW)
