This bill mandates that all school districts in South Dakota incorporate human growth and development into their health curriculum starting from grade three. The curriculum must include various forms of instruction, such as oral, written, or digital lessons, as well as lectures or presentations that focus on human biology related to pregnancy and fetal development.
Specifically, the bill requires the inclusion of two types of educational videos: a high-definition ultrasound video lasting at least three minutes that illustrates fetal development of critical organs, and a video detailing the process of fertilization and the stages of human development in the uterus, from cell growth to birth. These requirements aim to enhance students' understanding of human development within the health education framework.
