This census education package is a prototype of one to be distributed nationwide for the 1990 U.S. Census. The objectives of this K-12 project are to provide educators with instructional materials and to introduce and teach about census information. General information includes: (1) census history; (2) planning the census; (3) uses of census summary data; and (4) the roles of civic duty, confidentiality, and the law. The kit contains: (1) suggested school and district census outreach activities; (2) a teacher's guide; (3) a census vocabulary list; (4) nine reproducible activity sheets, with accompanying instructional materials and suggestions; (5) a list of U.S. history milestones that have been recorded by the Census Bureau; (6) a history of U.S. census-taking entitled "Counting for Representation: The Census and the Constitution"; and (7) a list of selected resource materials. Maps, graphs, and charts are included. (JHP)
