Using Earth's Resources: What are the Tradeoffs?
published by the New York Science, Technology, and Society Education Project
This teacher's guide and education module contains student problem-solving activities related to the use of the Earth's soil and mineral resources. These materials are developed for use in middle schools. The materials are divided into three units covering the local use of natural resources, the importance of minerals and soil, and sustaining these resources. The units each contain several activities, teaching tips, supplementary resources, and interdisciplinary connections. A sub-set of these activities constitute a project on locating a highway.

The top document on this page contains the Introduction and Table of Contents. The Primary Documents link can be opened to access the units for this module.
