How can you help students really understand today's environmental issues? Turn to the over 200 activities in Strands in the Web. These will immediately attract and involve your pupils and enhance their knowledge of -- and concern for -- the environment. The activities cover a wide range of curricular areas including Science and Technology, Consumer Studies and Economics, and Language and Dramatic Arts. Whatever subject you teach, you can fit these activities into an integrated program that will bring the subject alive for your students. Each activity is flexible enough to be used from ages 9-15, and many have extensions that invite further study. Strands in the Web is divided into four sections: Exploring the Environment and the Universe; Change; Unity: The Wholeness of Nature; and The Finite Planet. The first three sections present environmental education, while The Finite Planet ties all that information together. The book is extensively indexed by subject, skills and vocabulary, and 32 of the activities include blackline masters which can be copied and distributed to your class and used as assignment sheets for individual, group or class assignments.
Other blackline masters provide topics for group discussion or research. Whether as a major element in your environmental teaching program or as a simple and occasional sourcebook for multidisciplinary teaching, Strands in the Web offers you a vast and rich choice of teaching options to motivate and excite your students.
