The marine sciences are of interest to students K thought undergraduate school. However computer-aided instruction in the marine science appears to be limited to approximately twenty-four software programs currently available for microcomputers. This project is directed at the 6-12 grade levels in the area of marine biology The objectives are: to design a lesson to demonstrate the form and function of fishes; to involve students actively in the learning process by providing a computer environment for manipulating fish form, function and habitat in order to "design a fish"; and to demonstrate the concept that evolution is a function of environmental dictates. The Apple IIc or IIe computer will be used in the development because the Apple II Series is currently the microcomputer used most extensively in the precollege level schools. Evaluation of the lesson will proceed through the Delaware Department of Public Instruction, using Delaware schools. In addition to various inservice programs, the Mid- Atlantic Marine Education Association and the National Sea Grant Program will be evaluating the materials. Marketing will be done through the University office of Instructional Technology. This project makes excellent use of the appropriate technology in a most suitable fashion. Secondly, the product has high potential to serve as a model for future development in other disciplines. The availability of good software in the area of biology is very low so a real need is being met by highly qualified persons and with a modest budget.

海洋科学是学生们感兴趣的 本科学校。 然而，计算机辅助教学在 海洋科学似乎仅限于大约24 目前可用于微型计算机的软件程序。 这 该项目针对6-12年级的学生， 海洋生物学的目标是：设计一个教训， 展示鱼类的形态和功能;让学生参与 在学习过程中积极提供一台电脑， 操纵鱼类形态、功能和栖息地的环境 为了“设计一条鱼”;并展示了这个概念， 进化是一种环境指令的功能。 Apple IIc或IIe计算机将用于 因为Apple II系列目前是 微型计算机在大学前一级使用最广泛 学校 课程评估将通过 特拉华州公共教育部，使用特拉华州 学校 除了各种服务项目外，中... 大西洋海洋教育协会和国家海洋赠款 项目将评估材料。 营销将做 通过大学教育技术办公室 这个项目很好地利用了适当的 以最合适的方式。 其次，该产品具有 作为未来发展模式的潜力很大， 其他学科。 该地区良好软件的可用性 的生物学是非常低的，所以一个真实的需求正在得到满足， 合格的人员和适度的预算。
