Elementary textbooks containing references to technology and the Industrial society form the base for this curriculum guide, which is designed to assist teachers in a more effective method of using these references for the benefit of students. A brief course outline and suggested projects involving power, transportation, communications, manufacturing, and construction, are offered for special education students. Manufacturing activities are suggested for the kindergarten level. For each grade, 1 through 8, the guide provides, using a column format, specific topics of study, with each topic including references, and suggested activities. The reference indicates a book listed in the textbook bibliography for that grade. Other references to the same topic are also listed and are included in the bibliography. Topics include communications, construction, manufacturing, transportation, power, services, and pollution. Safety rules in industrial arts are discussed; descriptions are provided for tools and their use. A partially annotated section on resource materials is included, listing books, pamphlets, magazines, films, and field trip contacts. (TA)
