本文探讨如何将表面积与体积比等物理定律与达尔文进化联系起来，并通过卡通投票器问题帮助物理入门课程学生理解物理与生物学的跨学科联系。
摘要：
自伽利略以及（更近期的）达西·汤普森以来，人们已经认识到物理过程和约束会影响生物结构及其产生的功能。然而，这些跨学科联系——以及它们对生物物理学等日益发展的科学学科的重要性——在物理入门课程中很少被讲授。本文考察了物理定律如何通过表面积与体积比（结构的一个重要几何度量）来塑造达尔文进化。我们设计了概念性卡通投票器问题，以增强学生对这些跨学科概念的理解。通过将抽象物理定律与生物（和技术）应用联系起来，我们的方法旨在帮助学生领会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。
英文摘要：
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.
