A science and social studies unit developed around rosin is described. Students develop an understanding of the processing of raw material from a plant source into a commercial product and how to protect wood from weathering by preparing, testing, and evaluating varnish and shellac for their wood protective qualities. (Author/DS)

Presents lecture outline comparing uniformitarianism with other philosophic approaches to earth study. Comparison is valuable since: (1) it provides insight into the character of geology and the meaning of the scientific method; and (2) it reveals the necessarily biased nature of all information. (Author/JN)
