Biological Science: A Human Approach

人类生物学是十年级活动生物学课程的基础。本课程的主要目标是了解人类物种独有的特征以及与其他生命系统共有的特征，了解人类在生物圈中的位置以及我们与环境相互作用的后果，了解人类在进化中的地位以及我们与其他物种和环境的相互作用对进化过程的影响。本课程以科学改革运动为背景，强调对概念和过程的理解，而不是词汇。课程内容将强调课程框架中确定的主要生物学主题：进化、遗传连续性、组织模式、生物能量学、调节、行为、发展、形式和功能、生物多样性和生态学。这门课程是为所有学生和学校设计的，其组织主题与学生有关：人类物种、人类有机体、人类身体表现、人类生命周期、人类种群和人类适应。它结合了实验室活动和教学技术，并采用改进的学习周期和现代评估策略。材料包括学生教科书、学生参考书、教师指南、评估包和实施指南。

Human biology is the basis for a tenth grade, activity-based biology course. The major goals of the course are to understand those characteristics which are unique to the human species and which are shared with other living systems, to understand the place of humans in the biosphere and the consequences of our interactions with the environment, and to understand the place of humans in evolution and the consequences of our interactions with other species and the environment on the evolutionary process. The course is informed by science reform movements and stresses understanding concepts and processes over vocabulary. The content will emphasize major biological themes as identified in curriculum frameworks: evolution, genetic continuity, patterns of organizations, bioenergetics, regulation, behavior, development, forms and function, biodiversity, and ecology. The course, designed for all students and schools, is organized about topics which concern students: the human species, the human organism, human physical performance, human life cycle, human population, and human adaption. It incorporates laboratory activities, and instructional technologies and employs modified learning cycle and modern assessment strategies. Materials include a student textbook, a student resource book, teacher's guide, an assessment package and an implementation guide.
