Pinpointing disciplines which will be required during the 1970's to solve environmental problems is one of the goals of this career book. Analysis of the manpower demands which will create new job opportunities in environmental management is presented. Written for a student or counselor, it gives a general view of what the main environmental…

Compiled in this notebook is material from an Earth Control and Investigations Course offered by the Earth Science Branch of the Division of General Research, Engineering and Research Center, Denver, Colorado. The training is designed to promote consistency and uniformity in control and investigation procedures throughout the Bureau of…

Included in this set of materials are two units: (1) Geosystems and (2) Open Space. Each unit includes student guide sheets, reference material, and tape script. A set of 35mm slides and audiotapes are usually used with the materials. The unit on Geosystems introduces the student to geosystems and the role of geosystems in the land use decision…

This material includes student guide sheets, reference material, and tape script for the audio-tutorial unit on uplands. A set of 35mm slides and an audio tape are used with the materials.

Reports on a conference of scientists, secondary teachers, and science educators at which objectives and instructional activities designed to incorporate crustal evolution educational materials into grades 6-10 science courses and curricula were identified. (CP)

Describes relief model construction and compass exercises appropriate for the secondary school. (CP)

Describes an instructional format for introductory undergraduate earth science in which students work in small groups on topics of interest in earth science-related fields. (CP)

Using the basic Bagnold design, a relatively inexpensive suction-type wind tunnel can be constructed for laboratory demonstration of sand-grain movement, ripple development, and other eolian processes. Its simple design provides no workshop problems and it can be made for a total cost in materials of approximately $225. (Author/CP)

The field trip procedures described were devised for use with freshman college students as an alternative to a classroom or laboratory session. Pre-test and post-test of students' knowledge of groundwater concepts show significant change in students' understanding of groundwater occurance and movement following such a trip. (RE)

Describes the construction and use of this simple apparatus designed to illustrate the phases of the moon. (BB)

Describes an activity by which college students can evaluate various urban environments through a series of responses to polar adjective pairs. This activity clarifies how earth science students feel about the environment, and it also teaches them contour mapping. (HM)

A gas pressure gauge has been constructed for use in a student experiment involving the law of atmospheres. From pressure data obtained at selected elevations the average mass of air molecules is determined and compared to that calculated from the molecular weights and percentages of constituents to the air. (Author/BB)

Describes the use of Landsat maps in a study to determine the feasibility of supervising student teachers with group telephone conferencing. Project value was determined by cooperating teacher evaluations, student-teacher comments, and pupil achievement. (MA)

The green sea turtle is an economically valuable animal because of the many articles produced from it, including food stuffs. This article describes the history of turtle hunting and the attempts that have been made to domesticate and raise this reptile in captivity. (MA)
