This curriculum guide was launched in response to a need for Lake Superior-specific educational materials and contains lessons and activities that can be used to teach about Lake Superior. The lessons in this book are divided into four sections. Each of the first three sections has a background section that provides basic information about Lake Superior. Following the background information each section provides a variety of activities and lessons designed for a variety of ages and settings. The first section, "The Physical Lake Superior," contains lessons that focus mostly on the physical evolution and dynamics of Lake Superior. The section titled "The Living Lake Superior" contains activities that teach about the plants and animals of the basin, from arctic disjuncts to zooplankton. "The Cultural Lake Superior" has lessons about the human dimension including history, human geography, and environmental issues. The last section, "Synthesis," is for those lessons and activities that are truly interdisciplinary and which go beyond the classroom walls. Appendices include resources, maps, and charts. (JRH)
