摘要

自伽利略和最近的达西-汤普森(D'Arcy Thompson)以来,人们已经认识到物理过程和制约因素会影响生物结构及其产生的功能。然而,这些跨学科的联系及其对生物物理学等不断发展的科学学科的重要性却很少在物理入门课程中讲授。在这里,我们研究了物理学定律如何通过表面积与体积比(结构的重要几何指标)来影响达尔文主义的进化。我们开发了概念性的漫画问题,以加深学生对这些跨学科概念的理解。通过将抽象的物理定律与生物(和技术)应用联系起来,我们的方法旨在帮助学生理解物理科学与生物科学之间的深层联系,从而丰富物理入门课程的学习体验。

Integrating Evolutionary Biology into Physics Classroom: Scaling, Dimension, Form and Function
Since Galileo and (more recently) D'Arcy Thompson, it has been understood that physical processes and constraints influence biological structures and their resulting functions. However these cross-discpline connections -- and their importance to growing scientific discplines such as biophysics -- are rarely tought in introductory physics courses. Here we examine how the laws of physics shape Darwinism evolution through the surface area to volume ratio, an important geometric measure of a structure. We develop conceptual cartoon clicker questions to enhance students' understanding of these interdisciplinary concepts. By connecting abstract physical laws with biological (and technological) applications, our approach aims to help students appreciate the deep connections between physical and biological sciences, thereby enriching the learning experience in introductory physics courses.
