Bibliography / Teacher Content and Teaching Resources
[1] Gore, A. (2006). An inconvenient truth the planetary emergency of global warming and what we can do about it. Emmaus, Pa: Rodale Press.
Excellent reading for the students and the teacher. It is like a picture book on global warming for grown-ups!
[2] ChemCom. (1993). Dubuque, Iowa: Kendall/Hunt Pub. Co.
Textbook that has a number of great units within it. It makes chemistry relevant to student's lives.
[3] Science and Sustainability. (2001). Ronkonkoma, NY: Lab Aids, Inc.
Another textbook that makes science relevant to students' lives and serves as a great curriculum package for an integrated science class.
