Science: Teacher's Guide - People, Energy, and Appropriate Technology

Science learning and study skills are strategies and methods for solving problems of any sort. Specific skills include interpreting charts and graphs, using scientific measuring tools and learning the scientific method, but a student who gains mastery of these has really discovered how to learn effectively in any situation. Instead of isolating these skills, the hm Program also provides instruction in energy production and use--issues of vital importance as we enter a new millennium and gain a more global understanding of our environment. Essential to the program is the comprehensive Teacher's Guide. It provides a focus on the importance of study skills, directions for using the student text, and practical suggestions for both the experienced and inexperienced teacher.
