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)

Reviews three videotapes for physics teachers: (1) "Determination of the Newtonian Constant of Gravitation" showing the Cavendish experiment; (2) "Preview Film for RAM-Tutor Media" introducing a series of seven videocassettes covering physics; and (3) "Determination of the Velocity of Light" using a rotating mirror. (YP)

Discussed are some uses of computers in chemistry classrooms. Described are: (1) interactive chromatographic analysis software; (2) computer interface for a digital frequency-period-counter-ratio meter and analog interface based on a voltage-to-frequency converter; and (3) use of spectrometer/microcomputer arrangement for teaching atomic theory.…

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)

Discusses how computers can be applied in the science laboratory. Describes the hardware and software associated with the laboratory interface system. Outlines a three-and-a-half-day workshop to train secondary science teachers to apply computer interfacing in their laboratories. Lists 5 references. (YP)
