The GREENing of Learning: Using the Eighth Intelligence.
Meyer, Maggie
Educational Leadership, v55 n1 p32-34 Sep 1997
Around Puget Sound, communities and elementary teachers value naturalist intelligence, the kind needed to solve environmental problems. As part of an integrated curriculum on water quality, sixth graders are learning about scientific procedures by performing dissolved oxygen, pH, and turbidity tests and taking samples of aquatic organisms. An outdoor classroom inspires students to design original assessment projects. (MLH)
