Review & Revision of the 2018 Science Standards of Learning<\/a><\/p>\n

Comments on 2018 Science Standards of Learning<\/a><\/p>\n

During our last class while learning different scientific sketching practices, Dr. Stohr-Hunt provided a handout of the current 2018 Science SOL for Living Systems and Processes. The SOL were shown for Kindergarten through Grade 4. She asked us to look over them and asked us what we observed. While the majority is about plants and animals, she touched on the fact that in Grade 1, SOL 1.5, TSW investigate and understand that animals, including humans, have basic life needs that allow them to survive. Key ideas include, and it goes on to discuss animals. As she mentioned, students learning about their own bodies, hygiene, health, etc. is not included in the current science SOL.<\/p>\n

Kindergarteners learn about their five senses and how they relate to specific human body structures and how they’re used in our daily lives. Then they learn about living and non-living things, plants and animals and life cycles.<\/p>\n

As the current science standards in Virginia come up for review and revision, what changes would you make to the content? Is there anything you would add, discontinue, or combine? Would you argue for or against to include human life needs that allow them to survive? What grade level would be appropriate to introduce learning about human life? Can it gradually be introduced in elementary school along with their ages, stages, and phases that the students are experiencing for themselves?<\/p>\n

I remember learning about the heart, bones, CPR, etc., in middle school during Health class when we were not doing physical education (PE). In private schools, they learn about the changes in their bodies, hygiene, healthy eating, mental health, healthy friendships (social), etc., during Personal Growth class in middle school during one of their trimesters. I would advocate for something like this in public schools.<\/strong> As a parent, I wanted a heads up beforehand, so I could be prepared for questions or conversations, regarding the content they were teaching, with my daughter to coincide with what they were being taught in school Each family is different and have their own values.<\/p>\n
