Developmental Biology: An Interactive CD-ROM for the High School Classroom

9819250mcinerney这个项目寻求资金来制作一个CD-ROM和附带的印刷材料，可以在高中生物教室中使用，以使发育生物学的教学现代化。这些材料将以10课时的探究式教学形式呈现，这可以取代或伴随现有高中教科书中的发育生物学的论述；BSCS将在其所有三个BSCS文本中使用该模块。发育生物学的四个主题将涵盖：个体生物的发展，发展和进化，发展和科学方法，以及发育生物学对个人和社会的影响。若干物种发展的动态录像、三维图形（可由学生操纵）、现代和经典实验的模拟、外部数据库的链接以及基本的文本材料将被纳入光盘。将为教师提供补充材料。学生将获得印刷材料，包括动手活动和实验室调查，这些将与CD-ROM内容相结合。这个为期20个月的项目将涉及BSCS、犹他大学埃克尔斯人类遗传学研究所和学习系统咨询公司（后者将被转包制作CD-ROM）。BSCS提交了一个经过精心策划和时间考验的开发和评估过程。BSCS和犹他大学将通过一家商业出版商分发光盘。

9819250MCINERNEYThis project seeks funding to create a CD-ROM with accompanying printed materials that can be used in high school biology classrooms to modernize the teaching of developmental biology. The material will be presented in a format of 10 class periods of inquiry-based instruction, which could replace or accompany the treatment of developmental biology in existing high school textbooks; BSCS will use the module in all three of its BSCS texts. Four general topics of Developmental Biology will be covered: the development of individual organisms, development and evolution, development and the methods of science, and personal and social implications of developmental biology. Motion footage of development of several species, 3-D graphics (which can be manipulated by students), simulations of modern and classic experiments, links to external databases, as well as basic text material will be incorporated in the CD-ROM. Supplemental material for teachers will be supplied. Students will be presented with printed material, including hands-on activities and laboratory investigations, which will be integrated with the CD-ROM content. The 20-month project will involve BSCS, the Eccles Institute of Human Genetics at the University of Utah, and Learning Systems Consultants (who will be subcontracted to create the CD-ROM). BSCS has submitted a well-planned and time-tested development and evaluation process. BSCS and the University of Utah will distribute the CD-ROM via a commercial publisher.
