Benedict, Deborah; And Others
These environmental education materials include both out-of-classroom and in-classroom experiences. The activities emphasize seven major goals including language skills, number skills, social skills, motor skills, science, and attention span. There are eight coded topical areas: (1) air; (2) animals; (3) games; (4) light; (5) plants; (6) seasons; (7) soil; and (8) water. Each topical area contains a variety of activities related to the general theme. The activities are described on separate cards and are written for the teacher. Each card contains the following: (1) a title; (2) a purpose; (3) suggested directions; (4) a materials list; and (5) hints and instructions for the teacher. The materials were tested with trainable mentally retarded students. (RH)
