AI Summary
This bill requires all school corporations in Indiana to include instruction on fetal development as part of the health education curriculum for students in grades 6 through 8, starting July 1, 2025. The curriculum must provide a detailed presentation on human growth and development during pregnancy, specifically using a high-quality computer-generated rendering or animation that shows the process of fertilization and each stage of fetal development inside the uterus. The instruction must comprehensively detail significant markers in cell growth and organ development, tracking the progression from fertilization to birth on a week-by-week basis. By mandating this specific type of visual and detailed instruction, the bill aims to provide middle school students with a scientific and comprehensive understanding of prenatal development.
