Population Education in Science: Some Sample Lessons.

Overview & Synopsis

This science teacher's manual contains nine sample population education lessons adapted from materials produced in several countries in Asia and Oceania. Activities are designed for lower primary through high school students. Included are class discussions, small group activities, and a role-playing situation. Food chains, human dependence upon plants and animals, methods for increasing food supply, water pollution, and land resources are among topics investigated. A scope and sequence chart depicts how teachers can integrate population growth and related issues into the regular science curriculum. (WB)
