Biological Sciences Curriculum Study: A Comprehensive Overview
The Biological Sciences Curriculum Study (BSCS) is a well-established organization that has developed various curricula focusing on different levels of biological organization, from molecules to ecosystems. Founded in 1958 and headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, BSCS offers three distinct approaches: Blue Version (Molecular), Yellow Version (Cell), and Green Version (World Biome), each addressing specific aspects of biological science. These curricula cover a wide range of topics including molecular biology, cellular biology, ecology, evolution, and more.

BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES CURRICULUM STUDY
HISTORY It was formed in in 1958, and became an independent non-profit organization in 1973. Headquartered in Colorado springs, Colorado. BSCS developed three approaches and separate curricula for the high school biology program.
According to William Mayer The molecular level The cellular level The organ and tissue level The organism level The population level The community level The world biome level
3 level of organization BSCS Blue Version: (Molecular) Biological Sciences: Molecules to Man BSCS Yellow Version: (Cell) Biological Science: An Inquiry into Life BSCS Green Version: (World biome) Biological Science: An Ecological Approach
Yellow Version Biological Science: An Inquiry into Life Unity: Life from life, basic structure and functions, living chemistry, the physiology and reproduction of cells, and the heredity materials. Diversity: viruses, bacteria, important small organisms, molds, yeasts and mushrooms, the trend toward complexity, the land turns green, photosynthesis, stems and roots. Continuity: patterns of heredity, the chromosome theory of heredity, Darwinian evolution, the mechanisms of evolution and the cultural evolution of man. Interaction: a population out of balance, a perspective of time and life: molecules to man
Blue Version Biological Science: Molecules to Man Biology, the Interaction of Facts and Ideas: science as inquiry. Evolution of Life Processes. The Evolution of the Cell: master molecules. Multicellular Organisms: New Individuals. Multicellular Organisms: Genetic Continuity. Multicellular Organisms: Energy Utilization. Multicellular Organisms: Unifying Systems. The World of Life. Diversity Among Living Things. Patterns in the Biosphere. Within the Individual Organism. Continuity of the Biosphere. Man and the Biosphere.
Green Version Biological Science: An Ecological Approach The World of Life. Diversity Among Living Things. Patterns in the Biosphere. Within the Individual Organism. Continuity of the Biosphere. Man and the Biosphere.
