Synopsis

What should biology education achieve? What should a biologically literate student know, value, and be able to do after completing a contemporary biology program?

Developing Biological Literacy by BSCS helps you construct answers to these questions. Developing Biological Literacy is a guide to designing biology curricula. Based on the efforts of 41 scientists and science educators, the guide includes background information and specific suggestions that local school districts, colleges, universities, or national groups can use as the basis for developing and implementing new biology programs. The development of biological literacy goes far beyond memorizing definitions - it is a lifelong, continuous endeavor.

Developing Biological Literacy shows you how to make biology memorable and meaningful to your students. Developing Biological Literacy focuses on evolution, interaction and interdependence, genetic continuity and reproduction, growth, development, and differentiation, energy, matter, and organization, and maintenance of dynamic equilibrium. Help your students understand the unifying principles and major concepts of biology, the impact of humans on the biosphere, the process of scientific inquiry, and the historical development of biological concepts.
