Biological Science: A Human Approach

人类生物学是一门以活动为基础的十年级生物课程的基础。课程的主要目标是了解人类物种独有并与其他生命系统共享的特征，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，并了解人类在进化中的位置，以及我们与其他物种和环境相互作用对进化过程的影响。这门课程受科学改革运动的启发，强调理解概念和过程，而不是词汇。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，是关于与学生有关的主题的：人类物种、人类有机体、人类身体表现、人类生命周期、人类人口和人类适应。它结合了实验室活动和教学技术，并采用了修改后的学习周期和现代评估策略。教材包括一本学生教科书、一本学生资源手册、教师指南、一套评估资料和一份实施指南。

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.
