A physicist, biologist, and a chemist were going to the ocean for the first time.

The physicist saw the ocean and was fascinated by the waves. He said he wanted to do some research on the fluid dynamics of the waves and walked into the ocean. He drowned and never returned.

The biologist said he wanted to do research on the ocean flora and fauna and walked into the ocean. He too never returned.

The chemist waited for a long time and afterwards wrote the observation: "The physicist and the biologist are soluble in ocean water."

We introduced two books: our first version of Chemistry with Computers and Chaos in the Laboratory (Science Projects for Use with the Apple II).

10 Years Ago in the Caliper

The TI-83 calculator was introduced and we started a "Biology Corner" to explain some of the great biology experiments you can do with our products.
