PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES IN RELATION TO
BIOLOGY COURSES

The understanding of biological principles and processes is paramount. While
principles cannot be developed in the absence of supporting facts, the memoriza-
tion of technical detail is unwarranted. However, mastery of a limited number of
technical terms is essential for precise communication. Principles become more
meaningful when applied to specific problems. The teaching of structure and
function should be correlated throughout the course.

The courses are designed to familiarize the student with his immediate
biological world. Every student should be given opportunity to participate in field
trips, and adequate facilities must be provided for first-hand laboratory study.

The courses should ensure a positive realization of the interdependence of
living organisms and the importance of conservation.

LABORATORY WORK IN BIOLOGY

Laboratory work is a vital part of the high school biology program. In order
that students obtain maximum value from the laboratory experiences, the designated
laboratory exercises should be done concurrently with the text material. It is
expected that at least one period per week be devoted to laboratory work. It is
strongly recommended that living specimens be utilized for laboratory work as the
occasion demands. Living plants and animals suitably maintained, are valuable
in creating an appropriate environment for teaching biology.

BIOLOGY 20

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES OF THE BIOLOGY 20 COURSE

1. The systematic study of the structure and functions of representatives of each of the major
phyla of organisms.

2. The handling of the microscope and of other standard laboratory equipment.

3. The accurate observation of biological phenomena in the field and in the laboratory, and the
precise recording of data.

4. The mastery of skills needed to collect and maintain living specimens, to identify them with the
use of keys, and to preserve them for future study.

5. The study of the principles of heredity, and of the history of life on the earth.

COURSE OUTLINE — BIOLOGY 32

The following course outline is designed to give teachers guidance with respect to the manner in which
the content should be treated in order to best achieve the stated objectives. From time to time reference is
made to sources of information other than the authorized text. It is expected that teachers will have avail-
able most of the reference books listed on page 10. After certain topics the appropriate laboratory exer-
cises are indicated in brackets. For example laboratory exercises 1, 2, and 3 are felt to be best covered
when topic 1 of Unit 1, "The Science of Life", is being studied.

All references are to the text book, unless otherwise indicated.

standing its function as a pump and the
pathway the blood takes in being pump-
ed by the heart. The function of the
blood is an important aspect.

BIOLOGY 30

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE OF THE BIOEOGY 30 COURSE

1. To emphasize understanding of biological principles rather than memorization of terms, defini-
tions, 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 life, through a study in depth of such life processes as:

(a) ingestion

(b) digestion

(c) absorption

(d) assimilation

(e) elimination

(f) excretion

(g) sensitivity
(h) reproduction

SUGGESTIONS REGARDING FIELD TRIPS

It is most desirable that every student in every class go on at least one field trip. Numerous difficulties
may make this impractical for every school. Each teacher must determine his own limitations because of
number of students, transportation problems, timetable and period length as well as the interests of the class
and the available regions for a visit. Permission must always be obtained from appropriate authorities —
usually the principal. Liability in event of accidents must be clearly understood.

Preparation

Teacher must cover the route to check details for pre-briefing of the class.

Arrangements with other personnel to assist must be confirmed to avoid confusion.

Class should be given an outline of plans in a pre-briefing session.

Items of special interest and problems to watch should be listed.

Designation of responsibilities for each group should be made here.

Arrangements for transportation, time of departure and return, and equipment needed should be clearly
outlined.

Follow-Up

Collected items should be sorted and labelled for future reference.
Information gathered should be summarized and distributed.

Specimens collected should become the basis for laboratory work :

— living specimens kept in an aquarium or terrarium,

— others may be preserved or mounted.

Identification of organisms using a simple key is desirable.

Labelling and mounting for a simple museum will be useful in future years to enlarge the school class
outlook.

Assessment

Each participant should appraise trip as a personal help.

Teacher should check usefulness to the course and the school and student.

Problems in management need immediate listing for revising future planning of a similar trip.

Applied Biology Field Trip Suggestions

1. Experimental Farms

2. District Agriculturist and Local Fairs

3. Water Purification Plants and Sewage Disposal Plants

4. Vocational Businesses e.g., Seed Plant

Information Field Trip Suggestions

1. Hospital and Clinic

2. Food Processing Plants

3. Greenhouse or other special production

4. University or Museum

Collecting Field Trip Suggestions

1. A Pond Life Study

2. A Woodland Habitat

3. A Creek or River Habitat

4. Rock Types and Samples

5. Ecology — in any area

19

SUGGESTED OUTLINE FOR A POND COMMUNITY STUDY

Preparation

1. Divide the class or group into teams — about four.

2. Outline the duties of each team and suggest equipment needed

3. List equipment to be used:

Glass marking pencils

Jars — screw top and wide mouth

— gallon or larger, 2

— quart, 6

— pint, 12
Insect net

Forceps, 2

Plastic bags — assorted, 4

Rubber bands

String — strong

Preservative solution

Insect killing jar

Plankton net — with metal loop
and collecting bottle

Can #3 with ends out and a #8 mesh
soldered on

Field Work

1 . Each group collects different materials, e.g., plankton, sediments, water plants, water animals, etc.

2. Samples collected with ample water in jars and labelled.

3. Plant specimens should be whole if possible.

4. Only one or two of each animal type is needed.

5. Large jars of water, plants, sediment, etc., should be preserved for maintenance in the laboratory
and later study.

Follow-Up Work

1. Each group reports on its collection to the class.

2. Identification, labelling and study of the organisms by each group. Phylum level may be sufficient
— more detail can follow if interest is good.

3. Description of whole community to show relationships, nutrition groups, etc.

4. Use of reference books to arouse interest and complete study for the interested students.

20

REFERENCE BOOKS

The following list of reference books contains a wide selection of materials for school libraries. The
letters before certain titles indicate the material is of a specific nature or may be of special use. Some
priorities on the basis of a $100 budget per year are suggested by numbers.

f — Field and laboratory work

r — Reference

p — Periodical

t — Teacher's Reference

1 — first $100

2 — second $100

3 — third $100

m — multiple copies desirable

Many of the titles are paperbacks. Schools with a limited budget may develop a reasonably good book
collection in a short time by purchasing paperbacks. If funds are available, hand covers are usually a better
long term investment.

It is suggested that teachers when ordering library books select several good books covering a broad
scope before ordering books that deal with specific topics in depth.
