CIC Animal Physiology Pack
Longman Group UK Ltd
£37.50
This pack has four parts.
The first is Blood Sugar. This is a
model to demonstrate the relationships
between the various factors affecting
the level of glucose in the blood of a
human to illustrate the principles of
the homeostatic.
Age range 14 —19 years
The second, Countercurrent
Systems, is a set of simple models of a
heat exchanger and a countercurrent
multiplier.
Age range 16 —19 years
Diet Analysis is the third part. This
is a breakdown of the calorie, protein,
fat, carbohydrate, vitamin and mineral
content in meals selected by the
student.
Age range 13 —16 years
This last part, Human Energy
Expenditure, calculates the energy
required for different activities and the
energy obtained from different foods,
and considers the energy used and
gained over certain periods of time.
Age range 13 —16 years

Profiles
Trafford Computing
£29.50
This is used in schools for the
preparation and printing of pupil
profiles and reports. Quantifiable
attributes or measures of performance
are displayed and printed as a bar chart.
The commentary is created from a set
of standard comments stored on disc
with the addition of conjunctives such
as 'and', 'but', etc. The report is
generated in a word processing
environment. Reports can be printed
at any time.

Physiology Pack 1
Longman Group UK Ltd
£37.50
Individual price: £18. 50
This pack includes "Flowering in Soya
Bean" and "Limiting Factors in
Photosynthesis".
Flowering in Soya Bean provides a
study of the factors affecting flower
initiation and the control of flowering
by endogenous rhythms. It does this by
allowing students to plan and carry out
series of experiments under controlled
conditions.
Age range 16 —19 years
Limiting Factors in Photosynthesis
demonstrates how the rate of
photosynthesis may be limited by one
or more factors and allows students to
plan and carry out investigations using
a wider range of parameters and is
controlled with greater precision than
is otherwise possible in a school
laboratory.
Age range 14 —19 years

Multi-Test Designer
Syntax Software
£19.95
The Multi-Test Designer is a flexible
system which has applications in
health related fitness tests, educational
non-verbal battery tests and
spreadsheet-like mark or score
manipulation and analysis. For the
above tests, raw scores always need to
be converted to statistical scores; the
system's basic function is to do this
automatically for any test from any
source. After an initial set-up routine,
a particular test is then permanently
computerised. (Compatible with name
files created in PE-Admin).
An instructional video is also
available.

Biology Class Experiments: Food
Energy and Water Content/
Hearing Age
AVP Computing
COM 109
£4.50
This is a package of three programs to
complement practical work.
The food energy program provides a
graphic review of the simple
experiment to find the food energy of
different foods. After doing the
experiment up to ten sets of data may
be entered, and calculations are
performed to produce food energy in
total and per gram. Results are then
compared, displayed in table form or
on a block graph and the table format
may also be printed.
The experiments to find water
content of food and hearing age of
individuals are treated in a similar way
enabling data collection and entry,
calcualtion and comparison of results
presented in table or block diagrams
with the option to print.
A suitable version is required if this
is to be installed on and executed from
a hard disc or from Econet.
A site licence is required.
