Teaching Activities in Science/Society/Technology/Environment.
Disinger, John F.; Lisowski, Marylin
Developed to highlight the interrelationships between and among science, technology, society, and the environment, this guide offers educators ideas and activities, and identifies resources for instruction at the elementary and secondary school level. Introductory comments explain and support the role and importance of environmental education in Science/Technology/Society (STS) education. Environmental concerns, problems, and principles are identified and discussed in terms of their relationship to STS education; a list of 13 concepts serves as an index to the instructional activities offered in this guide. Activities are then presented according to grade level category (elementary, middle/junior high school, and senior high school). Each of the activities addresses an environmental concern and/or concept. Information on each activity includes: (1) purpose; (2) grade level; (3) subject area; (4) environmental concept; (5) reference source; (6) background information; and (7) actual activity. References are provided for both the activity sources and introductory section. (ML)
