Recommendations for incorporating conservation education into the K-5 curriculum comprise this teacher's guide. Examined are eight natural resources: air, energy, forests and plant life, human resources, minerals, soil, water, and wildlife. Each of these topics is considered in two ways: (1) a chart depicts concepts basic to understanding the resource; and (2) a second chart lists related classroom activities. Both concepts and activities are indicated by grade level. Emphasized are local resources and concerns. (WB)
