Tools for this Unit:

Implementing District Standards

The following are the standards set forth by Richmond Public Schools for Human Anatomy and Physiology. This curriculum touches on the chemical, cellular, and body systems associated with hypertension. As shown in the progress of standards HA.3 through HA.5, starting from micro to macro is a very good pedagogical practice. This curriculum follows this practice throughout its background section. The activities used in this curriculum are inquiry based, and require student led investigation, analysis of data, observations, and creation of valid conclusions; thus aligning with standard HA.1, and many of the new National Science Teacher Association (NSTA) and National Science Foundation (NSF) recommendations.
