商品簡介
Harrington presents this guide to engaging youth in environmental science, geared primarily toward indirect educators such as librarians and parents. The first chapter emphasizes the role of less formal education centers like libraries and museums, and several chapters then ensue discussing storytimes, book clubs, and preschool programming. Self-directed learning programs are explored, including borrowed kits and open-ended on-site discovery centers. The last few chapters take science education out of localized institutions and into the fields of citizen science through multi-institutional partnership, workshops involving the whole family, and environmental action clubs for older children and teens. The appendix provides a chart ecologically assessing various alternatives for different household needs. Annotation c2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
