内容简介

从《科学探索者》的编写思路和内容，我们可以看出，它与我国《初中科学课程标准》颇有相通之处。该丛书倡导探究性学习，要求学生像科学家那样思考、观察和实验，把重点放在培养科学探索的兴趣、方法和能力上。丛书内容的综合性、跨学科性和方法的科学性无疑为我国中学科学教育提供了极好的教学资源。
“科学探索者”美国最权威的研究性学习教材。美国中学普遍选用的综合理科教材。也是新课标、新观念、新学法的最佳参考用书。本册主要讲述的是“人体生理卫生”，将带领你探索科学奥秘，指导研究性学习，知识能力方法并重，动手动脑趣味无穷。 本书主要包括人体的组成、骨骼肌肉和皮肤、消化与吸收、物质循环、呼吸与排泄、战胜疾病、神经系统、内分泌系统和生殖系统、奥林匹克动物等内容。
