This curriculum guide is the last (Series VII) in a six-volume set that comprises the Sea Week Curriculum Series developed in Alaska. The guide lends itself to the sixth-grade curriculum but can be adapted to preschool, secondary, and adult education. Eight units contain 43 activities with worksheets that cover the following topics: (1) the values of rivers, wetlands, and the sea; (2) marine mammals; (3) logging, fisheries, and wildlife; (4) oil and oil development; (5) community planning along Alaska's coasts and rivers; (6) weather; (7) a review of Sea Week's past; and (8) a Sea Week camping experience. An introduction provides information designed to help teachers become familiar with the contents of the curriculum guide and to assist in planning. Each unit contains information on student objectives, and activity background, vocabulary, materials, and procedure. Activities engage students in interdisciplinary projects that involve the skills of classifying, identifying, comparing, computing, measuring, game playing, role playing, writing, observing, mapping, collecting data, recording data, and analyzing data. An annotated bibliography contains 200 resources. A packet of teacher reproducible worksheet masters accompanies the curriculum guide. (LZ)
