Teaching about Hazardous and Toxic Materials. Teaching Activities in Environmental Education Series.
Disinger, John F.; Lisowski, Marylin
Designed to assist practitioners of both formal and non-formal settings, this 18th volume of the ERIC Clearinghouse for Science, Mathematics, and Environmental Education's Teaching Activities in Environmental Education series specifically focuses on the theme of hazardous and toxic materials. Initially, basic environmental concepts that deal with hazardous and toxic materials are listed and are referenced by the page number of the activities where they are addressed. A synthesis of the federal legislation related to hazardous substances is presented and management options are discussed. A general outline of the classification scheme used in the guide is provided and the number of activities according to each grade level, subject area, and focus area is specified. The teaching activities are grouped by suggested grade levels (K-3; 4-6; 7-9; and 10-12). Information on each activity includes: (1) purpose; (2) grade level; (3) focus area (general, health, water, air, biological aspects, disposal, and social/political aspects); (4) subjects (science/health, social studies, mathematics, language arts, fine arts, and home economics); (5) concept; (6) references; and (7) actual activity (including materials which can be duplicated). A listing of 32 references is also provided. (ML)
