Summary:
This thesis is prepared as a teacher's guide for a proposed interdisciplinary curriculum in environmental science (ecology) for junior high schools in Palm Beach County, Florida. It proposes three six-week blocks, one block to be offered in each of the junior high school years (seventh, eighth, and ninth grades). Each block consists of an introductory discussion containing block objectives, an outline of suggested topics, a suggested six-week course plan (by week), a sample lesson plan, a bibliography of references to aid in teacher preparation, a list of state-adopted textbooks containing pertinent material, a bibliography for the student, a list of 16mm films with brief comments on the possible use of each film, recommendations for overhead transparencies, and some suggested class activities, demonstrations, and projects. A list of recent paperback publications on environmental topics, a list of environmental organizations, and additional source materials for the teacher are included in the appendix.
