This is Volume VI of a six-volume set of reference reports written for the U.S. Office of Environmental Education under a contract. Discusses possible methods for integrating environmental education into existing public school curricula. Possible examples include working environmental education into eighth-grade mathematics and provides specific problem sets which explore energy and environmental issues.

This is Volume VI of a six-volume set of reference reports written for the U.S. Office of Environmental Education under a contract supervised by Walter J. Bogan. Robert Waller’s problem set for math education is the first part of Volume VI, followed by Alexander Christakis’ proposal of a study of human settlements as an arena for environmental education. Warfield’s paper on knowledge organization is next, followed by a description of a set of teacher training materials focused on energy and land use developed by Far West Laboratory. This volume is available on microfiche from ERIC, except for Appendix A, the paper by John Warfield, (“Some Principles of Knowledge Organization”, IEEE-SMC-9:6, 317-325) which had been previously published and was removed by ERIC for copyright reasons.

ERIC Abstract: "Reported are possible methods for integrating environmental education into existing public school curricula. This volume proposes a technique called “piggybacking” by which environmental education may be integrated into existing curricula with none or very little increase in teacher work loads and per pupil cost. Examples of integration include discussion for eighth-grade mathematics. Specific mathematics problem sets are described which deal with energy and environmental issues.

(RE) ERIC ACCESSION NO: ED187572; CLEARINGHOUSE NO.:SE030974 AVAILABILITY: EDRS Price - MF01/PC10 Plus Postage. 1 World Catalog ACCESSION NO: 7664288" THE ENTIRE SET OF SOURCEBOOKS IS IN A COUPLE OF COLLEGE LIBRARIES BECAUSE I LOOKED THEM UP ONCE. DON'T REMEMBER WHICH LIBRARY. THEY WERE IN WORLDCAT. I THINK MAYBE ONE SET WAS AT UNV NORTH CAROLINA I entered this record in the database just to be sure it was recorded as one of Warfield's reports and also to be sure to have a record of the papers by the other authors.
