Abstract	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.
