The Origins of Life"Teaching Origins of Life"
November 9, 2005
Last night the Kansas Board of Education voted to adopt a new science curriculum for some state schools. The highly publicized decision is the first in the country.
George Ochs, the K-12 coordinator for science curriculum in the Washoe County School District, says they have strict standards regarding the science curriculum approved each year and mandated by the state for schools throughout Nevada to follow. "Science teachers are required to teach the scientific standards and the standards are very specific on what students should know and be able to do."
State standards require broad concepts about evolution actually begin in kindergarten with students learning to observe the world around them and try to sort things out in groupings.
