The goal of our project on digital biology is to show the sceptical biology teachers at our school how computers can be valuable tools for biology lessons.
Using a frame grabber and a sound card we prepared a large number of examples:
- We created digital worksheets containing videos and sounds.
- We analysed voices and conducted a hearing test using the sound card.
- We stored videos lasting 20 seconds on floppy disks, so that they can be watched by students without a frame grabber.
- We demonstrated how such videos can be created.
- We showed how students can be given inexpensive colour images for analysis without requiring time consuming photo development.
- We showed how websites can be saved and processed for biology lessons.
- Of course, we also showed how the whole course can dissect a frog without any mess online.
