CQNTWS I. General Information 1 II. Course Outline 3 III. Laboratory Supplies Required £ In order that schools may not find themselves sud- denly faced with excessive expenditures for labor- atory supplies, it is proposed that equipment be purchased over a three-year period. For that reason the list of equipment has been divided into three sections, and it is proposed that a board may pur- chase a certain portion each year. e*g. equipment listed under "Year One" is considered a suitable minimum for the first year. Equipment under "Year Two" and "Year Three" may N= s^^ed in succeeding years. IV. List of moderately priced reference books 13 GEWER M, INFORMATION ooks required (available at the School Pock Branch) Text: (a) ELEMENTS OF BIOLOGY: Weiszj McGraw-Hill (b) Chemical Background ror Biology 30: Brown Laboratory Manual: LABORATORY EXERCISES FOR ELEMENTS OF ^TOLOGY: McGraw-Hill Prerequisite : The prerequisite for Biology 30 is a ' B' or better standing in Biology 20, Science 20 or Science 22. Objectives: 1« To emphasize understanding of biological principles rather than memoriza- tion of terms, definitions, diagrams, etc. It is assumed that students will have a background knowledge of structure from studies of Biology 20. 2. To develop a deeper understanding of biological life, through a study of the processes involved. Aims: 1, To study in depth such life processes as: a) ingestion b) digestion c) absorption d) ass: dilation e) elimination f) excretion g) sensitivity h) reproduction 2. To study the life processes in a representative group of organisms, both plant and animal. The organisms used ma vary from school to school. (It should therefore be obvious that a final examination may not emphasize select organisms. Students and teachers may use any specimens or mate- rials which are suitable.) Laboratory Work la It is expected that at least one period p^r week xfill be spent in the laboratory. 2. Laboratory work will receive attention on final examinations. During the introductory three-year period, there shall be an increasing emphasis on this aspect of the course, to a maximum of 30^ - hOfo of course value. It is anticipated that this period of time should be sufficient to adequately equip a laboratory. - 2 - Final Examination: 1. The final examination shall be subjective. 2. The examination shall allow for variation in emphasis on tonics by pro- viding a measure of choice: a) Two-thirds of the questions on the examination shall be answered. b) The 2xamiration shall consist of three parts, reflecting a different anproach to testing: i) An essay-type question to test ability to organize and relate, ii) A question testing knowledge and understanding of factual mate- rial. (Refer: METHODS kW) MATERIALS FOR THE TEACHING OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES: Miller and Blaydes; McGraw-Hill, Chapter 6, pp. 68 - 8£.) iii) A question derived from or based on laboratory work. c) Each part to have approximately eoual weight.
