The School of Biological Sciences at the University of Kentucky is currently renovating its undergraduate biology curriculum. New lab exercises are being designed for both majors and non-majors that center on the scientific method and science as a process. This project focuses on the development of a series of computer-based physiology lab modules using Macintosh-based data acquisition stations, each with probes, transducers and data analysis software. MacLab-based physiology exercises will become important components of the second semester introductory laboratory for life science majors, the required mid level Anima Physiology course and physiology-based summer research experiences. In addition, students preparing for careers in elementary and middle school education who are enrolled in our non-majors General Biology Laboratory will utilize the MacLab system in a basic human physiology exercise. These lab exercises will familiarize students with the use of computers in biological investigations, and will provide opportunities for real time data collection and analysis, hypothesis testing, report writing and participation in active group discussions.

肯塔基大学生物科学学院目前正在更新其本科生物学课程。正在为专业和非专业的学生设计新的实验练习，以科学方法和科学为过程为中心。该项目的重点是开发一系列基于计算机的生理学实验模块，使用基于Macintosh的数据采集站，每个采集站都有探头、传感器和数据分析软件。基于MacLab的生理学练习将成为生命科学专业第二学期入门实验室、必修的Anima生理学中级课程和基于生理学的夏季研究体验的重要组成部分。此外，准备进入小学和中学教育的学生如果注册了我们的非专业普通生物学实验室，他们将在基本的人体生理学练习中使用MacLab系统。这些实验练习将使学生熟悉计算机在生物调查中的使用，并将提供实时数据收集和分析、假设检验、报告撰写和参与积极小组讨论的机会。
