This publication is intended to aid local public officials and interested citizens in planning how to best manage rapid population growth resulting from construction and/or development of new energy-related facilities. In particular, it discusses what the impact of an energy project on a community is likely to be, shares ideas for action based on…

This publication contains a K-12 comprehensive conceptual scheme for population-environment education to be utilized as a framework in which existing courses of study can continue to be used and to which new materials can be adopted. The development of the basic concept, Man is Part of a Natural System the Earth, and is Ultimately Subject to the…

This autoinstructional lesson deals with the study of man and his environment. No previous experience or learning in this field is required. Emphasis is placed on analysis of population growth and the impact population growth and trends have on natural resource depletion. The behavioral objectives (five) are listed. The study guide for the…

This unit is one of a series produced for environmental education programs by the Highline Public Schools. These materials are designed for use with junior high school students studying the concept of population, population trends, and problems created by changes in populations. The seven concepts in the unit take about three weeks to complete.…

These resource papers encourage the student to discover for himself the contributions to a problem made through original literature. Since some of the papers are controversial or contradict others, the student will need to evaluate these papers to determine his correct approach or position. It is hoped that these papers will also foster an…

The development of a mathematics model to simulate small animal populations is described. Assumptions of the population model and options in the program are discussed. (MK)

This position paper presents an interdisciplinary approach to the study of population. Six main sections are included in the paper: Introduction, The Growth of the Human Population, The Psychological Effects of Population Growth, Overpopulated America, Myths Concerning Population Growth and Control, and Population Education. Section 1, an…

This is one of a series of units for environmental education developed by the Highline Public Schools. The unit is designed for junior high school mathematics classes and emphasizes applications of exponents to problems of population growth and pollution. The nine lessons are designed for about eleven school days. Each lesson includes the concept…

The guide introduces a method of identifying problems associated with rapid community growth; outlines several growth management options, and some challenges to be faced when attempting to influence related policy choices; and examines how people being impacted might cope more effectively. Part I, "Growth Impacts Assessment," provides an…

This unit on population, designed for senior high school students, is divided into six packets with the following major topics: general introduction to the effects of a growing population, urbanization, family structures, family planning, consumption, environmental decay, and controlling the environment. Each packet contains a list of the topical…

This autoinstructional packet, Part 1 of a two-part sequence, contains activities related to environmental education. Emphasis is placed on techniques used to obtain data on population growth and trends. It is suggested that it be used with high school students who have had a general introduction to the study of populations and can define same.…

This autoinstructional lesson dealing with the study of population growth is the second part of a two-part sequence. This is a learning activity for high school students who have completed Part 1 of "Measuring Populations" and are capable of using a microscope and of preparing slides to be observed. The behavioral objectives, both…

This material includes student guide sheets, reference material, and tape script for the audio-tutorial unit on Planning for People. An audio tape is used with the materials. The material is designed for use with Connecticut schools, but can be adapted to other localities. The material in this unit considers population growth curves, factors that…

The electronic computer has brought about a mathematical revolution in the second half of the twentieth century. Once forbidding calculations are now within the reach of the average student and techniques which before had only theoretical interest have been seen to have practical value too. This book combines some of the familiar results and…

These resource papers encourage the student to discover for himself the contributions to a problem made through original literature. Since some of the papers are controversial or contradict one another, the student will need to evaluate them to determine his position. It is hoped that these papers will foster an appreciation of the work of the…
