Book excerpt: Pathways to Learning Environmental Science: A Study Guide for Success is a workbook and study guide designed to be used in conjunction with standard required texts in environmental science and environmental studies courses. Used over the duration of a course, it enhances comprehension, increases retention, and improves test scores. The book contains tear-out pages that can easily be attached to class notes or other course materials. Chapters feature questions and fill in the blank exercises, allowing students to check their understanding of the subject matter, and assess their progress early on. Everything in the book is designed to answer the question "What do I need to know?". The fourteen chapters of the book cover the many areas involved in environmental science and environmental studies, including chemical, physical, biological, and earth science principles, earth spheres, and biomes. Also covered are environmental cycles, material and energy resources, pollution, and environmental laws and regulations. Each chapter begins with an explanation of the topic to be discussed, and indicates where in a textbook students can find complete discussions, figures, charts and tables. Chapter exercises are presented in multiple choice, fill in the blank, and matching formats, allowing students many opportunities for self-evaluation prior to taking class examinations. Of special note is the Rap City in Green feature of the book, which reviews major concepts in verse form. The musicality of the verses enhances appeal, and is a highly effective memory aid. Pathways to Learning Environmental Science is an excellent support tool for students in general education environmental science/studies courses.

The proceedings are divided into five major areas. General session presentations, which include both keynote and featured speakers, include topics on environmental education legislation, reform, and perspectives on the Tennessee River and the Ukraine. Conference workshops include businesses in partnership in education, developing teacher training programs, student assessment, and ecological economics. Symposia cover such topics as wildlife, environmental education advocacy, role of government, adult education, multimedia, sustainable development, and environmental education research. Conference papers were grouped into six related strands: (1) "Educating about Environmental Issues and Policies"; (2) "Curriculum and Teaching Strategies"; (3) "Nonformal Programs"; (4) "International Education Programs"; (5) "From Research To Application in Environmental Education; and (6) "Promoting Environmental Education Programs." Contains a total of 132 conference papers. (PVD)

Book excerpt: Apply high-quality project-based learning strategies to create lessons and units that help students solve a variety of urgent environmental problems. Environmental science (ES) education is essential to preparing today’s students for the future. We must create opportunities for hands-on investigations that explore complex environmental problems in order to find solutions and meet the challenges of our changing world. Educators looking to bring ES-focused experiences to their students can turn to technology and social-emotional learning (SEL) strategies to connect students with real-world situations and citizen science opportunities, while fostering empathy and a love for the natural world. Project-based learning (PBL), with its emphasis on inquiry and authentic challenges, can be an effective approach to teaching ES. Those new to PBL may not feel they have adequate training. Likewise, teachers who haven’t taught ES may question how to incorporate it into their curriculum. This book addresses both situations, providing practical guidance for teachers, along with examples of technology-rich, learner-centered student projects addressing timely topics such as sustainability, human impact and climate change. This book: • Helps teachers design learning experiences that model authentic problems and processes practiced by scientists and engineers, to prepare students for future careers in science. • Addresses diversity, equity and inclusion in ES, and shares resources and strategies for addressing racial equity in ES. • Introduces facilitation techniques that redefine the teacher’s traditional role as one that supports increased student agency, the development of critical thinking skills and an expanded awareness of their place in the global community. • Includes a chapter that focuses on applying the principles and strategies shared in the book in an online learning environment. • Addresses Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) topics in environmental science and is aligned to the ISTE Standards for Educators. PBL is one of the best ways for students to explore complex processes and concepts, and this book will help teachers leverage this approach to empower students to take action toward a better future and world.
