LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese.This quantitative study measured endocrine system pre- and post-test scores of 77 sixth grade science students at a Midwestern middle school. Results indicated higher post-test science scores and differences in scores by race. It was concluded that middle school students differ in their level of understanding of life science information.用定量研究的方法對美國中西部77名六年級科學科中學生的成績進行先期測試和事後測試。測試結果顯示事後測試的分值較高而且種族之間分值差異較大。由此推斷中學生在理解生命科學資訊水準上存有一定差異。
