Outline Unit Plan for Biology

Biology is one of three natural sciences. Technology has provided a useful connection between the three natural sciences (chemistry and physics are the other)as well as provided advancement in these areas.But before we provide high technology to the classroom we must first address the essentials or the basics in understanding science, the student's ability to address the questions and problems of science presented to them from a cognitive perspective. Literacy instruction must be and should be provided basicly to students by first being able to read a book. Science is about experimentation and a computer cannot provide that first hand training. On the other hand computers are useful in their aplication of data analysis. The student must be able to make use of both high tech and low tech solutions to the science of biology as well as all of the natural sciences; for we as theachers and learners should not completly forego the book or basic literture tools; just like whiching a movie of some novel, the book always provide or give a more discriptive observation of the contents of the story than the movie.
