There has been a dramatic increase in the availability of case studies for use in the biology classroom, and perceptions of the effectiveness of case-study-based learning are overwhelmingly positive. Here we report the results of a study in which we evaluated the ability of interrupted case studies to improve critical thinking in the context of experimental design and the conventions of data interpretation. Students were assessed using further case studies designed to evaluate their ability to recognize and articulate problematic approaches to these elements of experimentation.

Article Synopsis
- The study observes that as carbon dioxide levels (hypercapnia) increase in chick embryos between 14 to 19 days of incubation, there is a noticeable decline in both motor activity and the spinal cord's burst activity.
- Experimental exposure to different CO2 levels showed that burst activity decreases within just 5 minutes, and the degree of this effect varies based on the embryo's age and the frequency of hypercapnic exposure.
- The findings indicate that short-term and long-term effects of increased CO2 on motor functions and neural activity are significantly different, highlighting the importance of metabolic factors in the embryo's development.
