THE TEACHING OF BIOLOGY 25

 The biological science emphasis. It is definitely not recom-
mended that the general science be substituted for the biological
science requirement. This substitution is allowed by State
Board Regulations merely to provide for those schools which
cannot arrange for the students to have a course in biology. The
general science textbooks do not adapt themselves to a biological
emphasis at the general science level. Teachers find it extremely
difficult to organize a general science course around biological
science.
 If a school is forced to offer general science as a substitute for
biology, then the teacher must show real ingenuity in planning
a worthwhile course. The course should begin with the units on
biology. These should be expanded by additional reading,
projects, experiments and demonstrations, observation of local
plants and animals, and use of audio-visual aids. When units
such as air, water, and weather are introduced, special emphasis
should be placed on their relationship to living things.
