Utica City School District, NY.
Two-column objectives are listed for an integrated science curriculum (grades K-12), often subheaded according to science area (biology, health, general science, physical science) and grade level. Concepts regarding characteristics of living things are stressed in objectives for the primary grades (K-5), and reproductive biology is covered extensively in grades 6 and 7. Objectives are grouped for grade 7 in the areas of health and biology. One group includes the study of diseases of man, mental health, safety, and nutrition; another relates human physiology, heredity and cytology to the study of smoking, drinking and drug use. Objectives in grades 10-12 integrate areas of biology, physical science and health. Such topics as the following are included: (1) environmental influence on heredity with related studies in cells, genetics, reproduction and embryology; (2) disease and nutrition; (3) community health, with particular emphasis on cancer and cardiovascular disease; and (4) family structure and external social influences on man's health.
