Teaching Chemistry Using Spreadsheets--I. Equilibrium Thermodynamics.

Brosnan, Tim

School Science Review, v70 n252 p39-47 Mar 1989

States that quantitative modelling allows teachers to concentrate more on qualitative understanding. Suggests the main benefits as (1) repetitive calculations are reduced allowing greater attention to be focused on underlying models; (2) more "what if" models can be tested; and (3) a wider variety of data can be used to test models.
