The results show that: The high school biology"emotions, attitudes and values"education can be divided into three major categories of analysis: emotions, attitudes, and values, and 15 analysis items: interest in learning, aesthetic sense, life awareness, national conditions and national policy, life attitude, scientific attitude, innovation, concepts of right or wrong, environment awareness, cooperation awareness, STS consciousness, dialectical concept, concept of development, responsibility, and the world concept.Biology as a high school curriculum, a basic science, has its distinctive features. Senior high school biology textbooks provide a wealth of contents of"emotion, attitude, and values"education resources. Teachers can also make full use of the hidden resources, something appearing to be irrelevant, which posed a challenge for teachers.
