Modernizing Instruction in Taxonomy and Systematics: Materials for High School Biology

小行星9730648 生物科学课程研究（BSCS），与荷兰阿姆斯特丹分类鉴定专家中心（ETI）和沃德自然科学机构合作。纽约的罗切斯特正在开发和出版一个关于分类学、系统学和生物多样性的交互式光盘，供高中生物课程使用。 十个开发的活动是互动和实验室为基础的调查，让学生使用各种数据（例如，形态，行为和分子）来构建和分析现存和灭绝的生物群体的分类。 这种方法是将分类系统视为代表当前对地球上生命的理解和相关性的积极假设。 学生们能够访问数据库，这是中央的光盘，并被引导到其他公共数据库，与系统学和生物多样性。

9730648 McInerney The Biological Sciences Curriculum Study (BSCS), in collaboration with the Expert-center for Taxonomic Identification (ETI), Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and Ward's Natural Science Establishment, Inc. Rochester, New York, are developing and publishing an interactive CD-ROM on taxonomy, systematics, and biodiversity for use in high school biology courses. Ten developed activities are interactive and laboratory-based investigations that allow students to use a variety of data (for example, morphological, behavioral, and molecular) to construct and analyze classifications of groups of organisms both extant and extinct. The approach is one of viewing classification systems as active hypotheses that represent current understandings and relatedness of life on earth. Students are able to access the database that is central to the CD-ROM and are directed to other, public databases that are related to systematics and biodiversity.
