The Designed World Standard 14: Students will develop an understanding of and be able to select and use medical technologies. Benchmarks: Grades K-8 Vaccinations protect people from getting certain diseases Medicine helps people who are sick to get better There are many products designed specifically to help people take care of themselves Vaccines are designed to prevent diseases from developing and spreading; medicines are designed to relieve symptoms and stop diseases from developing Technological advances have made it possible to create new devices, to repair or replace certain parts of the body, and to provide a means for mobility Many tools and devices have been designed to help provide clues about health and to provide a safe environment Advances and innovations in medical technologies are used to improve healthcare Sanitation processes used in the disposal of medical products help to protect people from harmful organisms and disease, and the ethics of medical safety The vaccines developed for use in immunization require specialized technologies to support environments in which a sufficient amount of vaccines are produced Genetic engineering involves modifying the structure of DNA to produce novel genetic make-ups Standard 15: Students will develop an understanding of and be able to select and use agricultural and related biotechnologies. Benchmarks: Grades K-8 The use of technologies in agriculture makes it possible for food to be available year round and to conserve resources There are many different tools necessary to control and make up the part of an ecosystem Artificial ecosystems are human-made environments that are designed to function as a unit and are comprised of humans, plants, and animals Most agricultural waste can be recycled Many processes used in agricultural require different procedures, products, or systems Technological advances in agriculture directly affect the time and number of people required to produce food for a large population A wide range of specialized equipment and practices is used to improve the production of food, fiber, fuel, and other products and in the care of animals
