Summary: Easy to Use and Workable
Review: Contains lots of labs, many of which I had not seen before online or in other sources. Can be used in middle grades or high school. Every thing you need is there. Explanations for the teacher are more than sufficient. No guesswork. Is applicable to every science field - earth science, chemisty, biology, etc. A good buy.

Summary: Easy to Use and Workable
Review: The book is divided into the various environmental problems which exist in the United States, and has activities revolving around each problem. The book's basic assertion is that the rise in population is the real reason for all of the environmental problems that exist today, which is, in my opinion, is correct. As a result, I generally use the section on population first to bring home that concept, and then cover the other environmental problems. It is an excellent resource for teaching environmental science or the environmental part of Biology. The book emphasizes activities which show the student what they can do about each problem, and at least makes them aware of what is happening if there is nothing that they can directly do. This book could also be used by social science teachers covering the environment since it emphasizes using discussion groups to derive some of the answers about the various problems. The book, also, is easy to use since it has recommendations in the book how the teacher can execute each activity, and has a list of expected answers to questions you may assign as homework or classwork.
