This paper is aimed at exploring the educational strategies of bringing the Multiple Intelligence Theory into Biology Curriculum and their effects in junior middle school.In the part of theory research, by way of document summarization, the paper makes a thorough inquiry of the naissance, connotation and theoretical base of Multiple Intelligence Theory; then analyses Ml Theory's enlightenment on basic education in the viewpoints of intelligence, students, curriculum, teaching, evaluation, etc; finally discusses the thoughts and patterns of how to develop Ml curriculum, and expounds the features and methods of evaluating Multiple Intelligence.The practice research part is divided into two sections: The Integration of Ml Theory and Biology Curriculum; Ml Theory & Ml evaluation. Mainly based on my own teaching practice, the integration section pays a special attention to analyzing the key factor in integrating, identifying the core abilities of intelligence and developing corresponding educational strategies. After that, two lesson-plan examples of integration are provided.In consideration of scientificity, the evaluation section uses a combined research method: qualitative research (questionnaires and tests) and quantities research (Portfolio and colloquia).We carried out a shift experiment on two classes in Grade 1 of junior middle school. We sent out our questionnaires to the students and their parents both before and after the experiment, to find out Mi's effects on students' intelligence development when it was used in Biology Curriculum; we also asked the students to finish our self-made tests on their knowledge, attitude, thinking and gain; and we had a colloquia after the whole experiment was over, in order to get some guidance for future teaching and research.After analyzing, we found that:(1)Multiple Intelligence Theory can speed students' intelligence development(2)Multiple Intelligence Theory makes students feel study much pleasant(3)Multiple Intelligence Theory helps to cultivate students' thinking(4)Multiple Intelligence Theory provides a good way to know our students(5)Multiple Intelligence Theory is a short cut for teachers' growth(especially new teachers).In Advice for Late Researchers, I advance common steps in integrating Multiple Intelligence Theory into Biology curriculum of junior middle school. At last, I reflecte on the research and state the lacks of the paper.The study is still going on. The best description of the process may be like this: Always to be better.
