This project will make possible interactive, process-oriented laboratory instruction throughout the biology curriculum. Experiments will emphasize observation, measurement, organization and analysis of data, and hypothesis formulation and testing. Students will employ electrophoresis, spectrophotometry, and centrifugation to investigate topics in biotechnology and molecular biology, genetics, and environmental biology. Students will use networked Macintosh workstations to and computer-based instrumentation to investigate a variety of physiological conditions, as well as to process and graph data. The new laboratory environment will foster scientific inquiry and will help students develop critical thinking skills. Students also will use computer-based post laboratory simulations to reinforce lecture and laboratory activities. As well, computer augmented instruction will afford a flexibility to better meet the needs of our single and working parents. Faculty will use the Macintosh server as a workstation to develop simulations supporting laboratory materials. Published reports and presentations on the results of this project will stimulate other community colleges to lab investigations modeled on those from this project.

该项目将使整个生物课程的互动，过程导向的实验室教学成为可能。 实验将强调观察，测量，组织和数据分析，假设制定和测试。 学生将使用电泳，分光光度法和离心法来研究生物技术和分子生物学，遗传学和环境生物学的主题。学生将使用联网的Macintosh工作站和基于计算机的仪器来调查各种生理条件，以及处理和图形数据。新的实验室环境将促进科学探究，并帮助学生培养批判性思维能力。 学生还将使用基于计算机的实验后模拟，以加强讲座和实验室活动。此外，计算机辅助教学将提供灵活性，以更好地满足我们的单身和工作父母的需求。教师将使用Macintosh服务器作为工作站来开发支持实验室材料的模拟。 发表的报告和演示的结果，这一项目将刺激其他社区学院的实验室调查模仿那些从这个项目。
