For each of these areas performance opjectives and corresponding concepts, process skills, and suggested activities are given. The areas are: measurement; earth science; astronomy; biological sciences; energy; chemistry; ecology; space science; and technology (focusing on social implications and careers). A list of audiovisual suppliers and brief comments on evaluation techniques are also provided. (JN)
