Nuclear Dangers: A Resource Guide for Secondary School Teachers. Teaching Nuclear Issues.
Meier, Paulette; McPherson, Beth
Provided in this guide are annotated lists of teacher and student resources for teaching and learning about nuclear issues in the secondary school. Resources are grouped into five major sections. The first section (background reading for teachers) contains books and articles focusing on nuclear issues (nuclear war; arms race/disarmament; nuclear weapons and policy making; nuclear weapons/power link; nuclear power; health and environmental impacts; and safe energy alternatives) and approaches to teaching about nuclear issues (addressing developmental/psychological considerations about peace education; values education; and recognizing propaganda). The second section lists classroom materials on nuclear issues: (1) curriculum guides, teaching units, plays, and teacher resources on war and peace and (2) student/teacher materials on safe energy v nuclear power, including teaching units, curriculum guides, simulation exercises, texts, plays, solar energy projects and catalogs. Fiction and non-fiction books for students to read on their own are presented in the third section. A list of peace groups and safe energy organizations is provided in the fourth section. The last section lists over 100 slide shows, films, and audio tapes which provide a broad choice of resources on nuclear weapons/war, nuclear energy/weapons, and alternative energy. (JN)
