The Changing Landscape of Science Education in CT…..

Making Informed Decisions for a Sustainable Future Gather information Consider values Explore consequences Make a decision

Living organisms have the capacity of producing populations of unlimited size, but the environment can support only a limited number of individuals from each species. Similarities in chemical and structural properties of DNA in all living organisms allow the transfer of genes from one organism to another. Sample High School Science Standards

The use of resources by human populations may affect the quality of the environment. Chemical technologies present both risks and benefits to the health and well-being of humans, plants and animals.
