• This environmental education workbook is aimed at helping kindergarten through 6th-grade teachers and contains hands-on activities directly targeted toward a particular age group, with equal distribution to each grade. Subject area descriptions and several multicultural activities are also included. Each activity lists the title, subject taught, grade level targeted, descriptive paragraph, objectives, materials needed, teacher notes, and discussion questions. Most activities also include enrichment options and interdisciplinary activities. Topics covered include: nature study and discovery; ecology including habitat, food chains and food webs, succession, plant study, seed dispersal, biodiversity, life cycles, and adaptation; pollution including water, wetlands, soil, air pollution, and global warming; and resource abuse including human population, solid waste, and solar energy. Appendices contain environmental organizations, environmental education activity books, and a bibliography. (JRH)
