Programs in Environmental Education, 1970.

Overview & Synopsis

To aid in the search for exemplary environmental education programs, the National Science Teachers Association has developed this inventory of science programs related to the environment. Only those programs which have materials available to other school systems or individuals and who can handle inquiries are included. Sixty programs are listed in 28 states and two foreign countries - Canada and the Philippines. Each entry provides program name and address, program director and address, a brief description of the program, and materials available. The appendix contains sample materials of: a lesson plan for Grade One involving a trip to an outdoor laboratory; a state resolution for environmental education; a schedule for a one-week curriculum at an outdoor school; subject matter areas for a sixth grade resident environmental education program; curriculum activities for a half-day visit to an arboretum by Grades K-6; and environmental curriculum themes for Grades 1-12.
