Science and Our Food Supply: Investigating Food Safety from Farm to Table

Connections to Curriculum Standards and the Common Core

During the production of this curriculum, developers and educator reviewers recognized 

the need to connect this program to curriculum standards and the Common Core, which 

provide the guidance for many state and local education frameworks regarding the content 

that should be taught at particular levels, and what students at each level should be able to 

do and to understand. 

You should carefully examine local and state frameworks and curriculum guides to determine 

the best method of integrating Science and Our Food Supply into the program(s) of your 

school. Appropriate placement within the scope and sequence context of a school’s  

 

curriculum will optimize the interdisciplinary connections and enhance the ability of a 

student to learn key concepts related to food.
