Chemistry and BiologyThis project expands the interactive component of an integrated freshman chemistry/biology curriculum. The project involves the creation of an interactive computer learning library that incorporates educational research findings into its design. Curriculum integration comprises themes such as energy transformation and dynamic equilibrium, which span and unify the sciences. Linked materials will span several levels of sophistication, allowing a diverse student population the opportunity to explore relationships among concepts in a nonlinear self-paced fashion. Reading assignments from handouts and the HyperCard library will drive discussion-based classes. This will allow more time to engage students in developing specific thinking skills necessary to become independent learners. The Thinking- Aloud Pair-Problem-Solving Method (TAPPS) will be used to help students gain qualitative familiarity with concepts and encourage them to examine their own approaches to constructing solutions to problems.

化学和生物学这个项目扩展了综合大一化学/生物学课程的互动部分。该项目涉及创建一个互动式计算机学习图书馆，将教育研究成果纳入其设计。课程整合包括能源转换和动态平衡等主题，这些主题跨越并统一了科学。链接的材料将跨越几个层次的复杂性，让不同的学生群体有机会探索概念之间的关系，在一个非线性的自定进度的时尚。讲义和HyperCard图书馆中的阅读作业将推动基于讨论的课程。这将使学生有更多的时间发展成为独立学习者所必需的特定思维技能。将使用大声思考配对问题解决方法（TAPPS）帮助学生获得定性的概念熟悉，并鼓励他们检查自己的方法来构建问题的解决方案。
