Scientific method is a effective way to understand and convert nature,if you internalized the scientific method, which contribute to not only the mastery of scientific knowledge and the formation of scientific thinking,but also scientific attitude and scientific spirit. Therefore,carrying out education of scientific method can promote scientific literacy and competence in inquiry. Biology teaching is the good vehicle for scientific method education.In China, scientific method education focuses on the theory more than practice which is just on the beginning.On the basis of elaborating the scientific method education and scientific method,this paper significantly discusses the theory and principles of science education,and analysises the standard of secondary education (trial version) and the new curriculum materials(PEP) , through which we find out the basis and the carrier of scientific education. In addition, the author conduct a survey for 6 kinds of scientific method of middle school students should mast.The survey showed on middle school students to master the scientific method in the general level of overall, the ability of the classsification and find out the variables to test are in a good level: they can find out variables, but deep research is shortage; They can classify on the basis of external characteristics, can not according to nature .In the observation and inference are general: they kown what is Scientific observations, application of less power-hungry, have inference capability, intuition infer that component dominates, lack of rational thinking. In count and presume not well: students have a certain hypothesis ability, but ability level is not high, mostly not reasonable explain his proposed hypotheses, no according to speculative, it is more significant than by intuition thinking of data processing, is more surface observation, analysis and comprehensive ability quite bad, not thorough analysis problem, draw the conclusion. In short, there is considerable deficiencies where students study and use of scientific methods. Besides, in several interviews with school biology teachers understand the current teaching practices in science education is in the stage of trying. Which has the consistency with the results of the survey. Summarize the-first-line teachers how to teach the scientific method and a number of successful cases and literature, summe up the scientific method by explore experiments, skills training and teaching the history of science education. In the end, summarize curriculum materials and teaching practice, the author bring forward some recommended for textbook and teaching practice. On textbook writing:The compilation of the teaching material should comply with the knowledge content logic; The psychological characteristics, with teenagers content to present the form diversification; Proper layout education problem about scientific method; On teaching practice:Teaching methods diversity; Pay attention to the inquiry activity, in which foster the method and ability;Focus on student's subjectivity and participate in effectiveness.
