Large Animal Sciences
- 6. Identify, research, and determine the significance of zoonotic diseases
associated with large animals. Compare and contrast findings from multiple credible sources relating to a specific disease (including student’s own experience or laboratory experiment, case studies, and scholarly journals). Justify the use of different methods of infection control in the prevention or management of a zoonotic disease and evaluate the efficacy of existing large animal biosecurity measures. (TN CCSS Reading 1, 5, 9)
- 12. Create a visual representation to differentiate between ruminant and non‐
ruminant animals and monogastric and polygastric animals, comparing and contrasting their anatomical and physiological differences. Explain the relationships of digestive system types to the ability of an animal to digest and absorb different classes of feed. (TN CCSS Reading 7, TN A&P 5)
Common Core Standard for Middle School Agriculture
- 19) Examine illustrative models of plants to differentiate
basic plant structures. Describe how form and function
- f structures are related. Explain components and
processes involved in plant reproduction and growth. (TN CCSS Reading 2; TN Science Grade 7: 2; TN Science Grade 8: 2)

Third Grade Math Common Core State Standard
- 5. Geometric Measurement: understanding concepts
- f area and relate area to multiplication and to
addition. a. A square with side length 1 unit, called “a unit square,” is said to have “one square unit” of area, and can be used to measure area. b. A plane figure which can be covered without gaps or
- verlaps by n unit squares is said to have an area of n
square units.
