The unit revision is aligned with the National Standards for High School Psychology Curricula (APA, 2011) and focuses on students’ understanding of the nervous system’s and endocrine system’s structure and function, the interaction between biological factors and experience, and methods/issues related to biological advances. The materials include a procedural timeline, content outline, multiple classroom activities, critical thinking questions, and appendix resources addressing standards alignment, the relationship between neurotransmitters and abused drugs, and evolutionary influences on behavior. Teachers are also guided on selecting appropriate content rather than presenting everything.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":20,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/biological-bases-of-behavior-lesson-plan-high-school-psychology-teachers/294231/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/biological-bases-of-behavior-lesson-plan-high-school-psychology-teachers/294231.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"wps_ap_test_251126_0180","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-21","2026-09-17",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":44},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What is the focus of the Biological Bases of Behavior unit?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The unit centers on how biological systems influence behavior, emphasizing the nervous system, endocrine system, and the interaction between biology and experience.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"Which national standards does the unit align with?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"The unit is aligned to the National Standards for High School Psychology Curricula (APA, 2011), specifically under the standard area “Biological Bases of Behavior.”",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"Does the unit require teachers to cover every section?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"No. The authors note that high school psychology teachers need not present all content in the document and should refer to the national standards to decide what to teach.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},294231,1789679542,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":19,"category_name":20,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":44,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":139,"language":140,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":129,"read_time":144},8796095027276,"https://avatar.qwps.com/avatar/d3BzX2FwX3Rlc3RfMjUxMTI2XzAxODA=","Biological Bases of Behavior  \na seven-day unit lesson plan for high school psychology teachers  \nDebra Casado, Nancy Fenton, Dawn Framstad, Rhinehart Lintonen, Patrick MacLaughlin, Madeline Noakes, Meghan Percival, Kathleen Woods, and Hilary Rosenthal, 2007 Revision Committee  \nJames Kalat, PhD, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC, Faculty Consultant  \nDeveloped and Produced by the Teachers of Psychology in Secondary Schools (TOPSS) of the American Psychological Association, August 2012  \nBiological Bases of Behavior  \na seven-day unit lesson plan for high school psychology teachers  \nThis unit is a revision of the original TOPSS Unit Lesson Plan on Biological Bases of Behavior, written by Blaine Adams, Elizabeth Berry, Gerald Blackstone, Betsy Fuqua, Lorrilee Geraci, Roger Hazzard, Joseph Lamas, Rhinehart Lintonen, Laura Maitland, Bates Mandel, Michael Riley, Pat Rowan, Ron Thornton, and Robert Windemuth; original unit edited by Laura Lincoln Maitland, W.
