BSCS is developing a 10th-grade curriculum unit on evolution and on science as a way of knowing. Included is a 100-page, six-chapter book to be used by students and a teacher's guide that contains background information, implementation strategies and student assessments. The first chapter of the student book deals with the nature of science and the issue of diversity and unity within and between species, the second with historical materials regarding evolutionary theory, the third with basic questions about diversity and adaptation, the fourth with genetics and molecular biology, the fifth with how evolution can be demonstrated experimentally with viruses and by reference to the AIDS epidemic and antibiotic resistance, and the sixth with the effects of humans on the environment and on natural selection. Two CD-ROMs complement the program. One includes samples of the writings of Darwin, maps of his voyages, and other historical materials as well as 2-3 student investigations for each chapter of the book. The second CD-ROM is an interactive simulated inquiry based on contemporary research on finches in the Galapagos Islands. Also included on the CD-ROMs are professional development materials for teachers.

BSCS正在开发一个关于进化和科学的10年级课程单元，作为一种认识方式。 其中包括一本供学生使用的100页、六章的书和一本教师指南，其中载有背景资料、实施战略和学生评估。 学生用书的第一章涉及科学的本质以及物种内部和物种之间的多样性和统一性问题，第二章涉及关于进化理论的历史材料，第三章涉及关于多样性和适应性的基本问题，第四章涉及遗传学和分子生物学，第五章涉及如何用病毒实验证明进化，并参考艾滋病流行和抗生素耐药性，第六个是人类对环境和自然选择的影响。 两张光盘补充了程序。 其中包括达尔文的著作样本，他的航行地图，和其他历史资料以及2-3个学生调查的每一章的书。 第二张光盘是基于对加拉帕戈斯群岛雀类的当代研究的交互式模拟调查。 光盘中还包括教师专业发展材料。
