The aim of this project is to significantly enhance the ability to teach about respiration and metabolism in a diversity of biology courses. The acquisition of a Micro-Oxymax computer- interfaced respirometer provides the sensitivity for measuring changes in CO2 as well as oxygen and allows animals to be monitored for extended periods of time without stress. By interfacing with the university computing systems the collected data is available to students in a variety of courses for additional analysis. The project has an impact on students in several courses, allowing them to take direct, accurate measurements of key metabolic processes, to investigate the influence of various environmental factors on their magnitude, and to develop "doable" experimental ideas of their own.

该项目的目的是显著提高 来教授呼吸和新陈代谢的知识， 生物学课程。 购买一台微型Oxymax电脑 接口呼吸计提供测量灵敏度 二氧化碳和氧气的变化， 在没有压力的情况下长时间监测。 通过 与大学的计算机系统接口， 数据可供学生在各种课程， 补充分析。 该项目对学生产生了影响， 几个课程，让他们采取直接，准确 关键代谢过程的测量，以研究 各种环境因素对其规模的影响， 并发展出他们自己的“可行的”实验想法。
