Jack,
The CD-rom disc does not have simulation materials.  It does
have experiments, both in the demonstration resources and the
one  particular section  called  teachers'  contribution.

For most of you, seasoned, experienced physics teacher, I don't
know whether or not you need it.  But for me, new physics
teacher, it is very useful.  It is really more of a resource,
reference type  of  materail.

In case you do not have access to the newsletter for the
contents,  i am  going to  list  a  few  items  as  example

Articles and abstracts:--many selected articles from "The
physics  teacher"  and  the  two  journal by  AAPT
Also, it has the complete index of "the physics teacher"
1976---1992


Books----Biography  of  physics
Physics  Desk  Reference
Potporri  of  physics  teaching
Teaching  high  school  physics

Booklets----several, I used the one on pressure cooker to cover
my  whole  heat  unit

catalog-------Cenco,  Pasco,  Vernier

Helpful College Directory--over 100 educators who are willing
to share their time, talent and interest---I recognized and
even know some of them, but I haven't tried contacted anyone

Demonstration  and  laboratory  Resources---lots  idea

Keyword---VERY GOOD I think.  IT includes math, chemistry,
biology, all branches of physics.  In each of these, Every
term, comcept you can imagined is included. Last Fall David
Popp mentioned about concept mapping.  I did not follow
through. I picked up the idea after I field test the cd rom.,
perfect  resources  for  me  to  do  this  activity

Problems----Unlimited
        Progressive  problems  in  physics
        Regent's  physics  review
Problems  in  General Physics  for  College  Course

The beauty of the problems set is that diagrams, figures,
tables are or there, all you need to is paste them.  no need to
xerox from a book and then cut and paste.  The downside is that
most of the problems are in British units instead of SI, what I
did  was  I  converted  them  before  I  print

Study  Guide

Teacher's  contribution---I  like  this  BEST

Equations----
Last three weeks of school, I covered history of
physics--plenty  of  materials  to  help  me  design  my  lesson

I aming a teacher work on gender equity, --women in science.  I
was able to dig out lots of references to write our proposal.

There are more.  I don't thik you want to read anymore.  Why
not get your hand on the disk and check it out yourself.
