Standards

Next Generation Science Standards/Oklahoma Academic Standards for Biological Unity and Diversity (MS-LS4-5)

Gather and synthesize information about the technologies that have changed the way humans influence the inheritance of desired traits in organisms.

This standard is deceptively simple but allows for a wide discussion of how humans influence the living world around them. By discussing how we understand and manipulate the world around us with vaccines, students will develop a deeper understanding of the natural world.
