The activity uses rulers, a random collection of buttons, and the AppleWorks database. After gathering as much data as possible in some organized fashion, students work individually on the computer. Once the data gathering phase has been completed, a computer data base file is built, data entered in the file and the data base manipulated as data trends are sought. Instructions for the construction of the data base are attached, comprising three-fourths of the paper. |

| Description: | "This document describes seven science activities that combine scientific principles and computers. The objectives for the activities are to show students how the computer can be used as a tool to store and arrange scientific data, provide students with experience using the computer as a tool to manage scientific data, and provide students with experience building computer data base files for use in science. Activities were introduced to elementary school teachers during an inservice workshop where they were trained to use an AppleWorks data base program with the Apple IIGS computer. Students who conduct the activities use research team processes, data pooling techniques, and computers as they attempt to make sense out of random data. Each activity includes: (1) grade level; (2) science skills; (3) math skills; (4) computer skills; (5) vocabulary; (6) list of variables; (7) materials; (8) procedures; and (9) curriculum extensions. Topics covered are: weight and counting using toothpicks and M&M's; the student's own personal data such as height, weight, and eye color; levers; acids and bases; and fire and atmospheric pressure. |

| Description: | "A practicum was developed to expand written vocabulary for third graders through training in using a data base and brainstorming strategies. Individual thesauri were written and published to demonstrate the results of collecting vocabulary and applying it to specific topics. Daily process writing became an integral part of the curriculum. Class time became an on-going procedure consisting of reading, writing, editing, author's chair, and rewriting. Brainstorming and computer word bank collecting were developed and linked to all aspects of written expression. Mini lessons in publishing and the use of a thesaurus were demonstrated and published versions of individual thesauri were written and illustrated by all 27 members of the class. Results indicated that all five objectives were reached successfully with results surpassing predictions in some areas. |
