Allan-
        Here's some of Lincoln-Sudbury RHS's use of computers in math and
        science:

       Our physics courses make a lot of use of Vernier's (2920 S.W. 89th St
       Portland Oregon 97225, (503) 297 5317, fax 503 297 1760, email
       308-3077@MCIMAIL.COM), Tools for Learning and Real Time Physics, which
       are based on Ron Thornton et al MBL's.  Of course, you need the
       hardware- universal interface box, motion detectors and sound probes are
       used in physics.  The chemistry courses use pressure, temperature and pH
       probes as well, so the ULI's are a good investment. The software has
       good capabilities for data analysis.

        Wings for Learning's (1600 Green Hills Road, P.O. box 660002, Scotts
        Valley CA 95067-0002, 800 321 7511)  Explorer program is used in
        physics for waves, harmonic motion and AC/DC circuits, and for
        genetics, photosynthesis and thecardiovascular system in biology.

         OnScreen Science (46 Wallace St., Somerville, MA 02144.
Telephone number and e-mail address are (617) 776-6416 and onscrn@aol.com.)
provides Chamberworks, which advanced physics uses for particle physics.

        AAPT sells Rockets, a simulation program useful alongside rocket
        projects.  We also use a prototype version of Graphs and Tracks from
        the University of Washington, and Interactive Physics for simulations
        of collisions and falling bodies.  We use BBN's RelLab for relative
        motion and relativity.
        High Performance System Inc's Stella software is being used in biology
        and environmental issues.
        For more info on our chemistry department's use of software, contact
        Dan Damelin, dandamelin@aol.com.  For info on our math dept's extensive
        use of software, contact sweiss@copernicus.bbn.com.

        All areas of science are using Excel spreadsheets for data analysis.

        Good luck with your project!

Connie
