PULSE is an interdisciplinary curriculum. It is designed to improve life science literacy by providing lessons for core high school subjects that address environmental health and biomedical research. These topics are equally relevant and motivating within science classrooms and also in those of geography, language arts, government, world and American history, and mathematics classes. For example, lesson topics range from the health impacts of arsenic in drinking water and the history of epidemics, to the agricultural use of fertilizers or pesticides and current biomedical issues and the policy changes they can influence. Lessons adhere to National standards in science, social studies, language arts, and math.
