The arrangement of inquiry activities in the textbooks, to a certain degree, affects the quality of inquiry learning activities. The research made a comparative analysis of the inquiry activities in Chinese high school biology compulsory textbooks (PEP edition) and American high school biology textbooks (Biology: the Dynamics of Life) from the inquiry types, equipments, arrangements of teacher-students interactions and etc. The research suggests that in order to improve the quality of inquiry learning activities, China could enrich the content of textbooks, develop the equipments of activities and optimize the detail of teaching activities.
