This new book consists of 'Activities' that students can do on various
environmental topics.
**
Dear Reader,**
**
Environment ceased to be a sideshow recently, after the country’s
apex
curriculum setter and the two dominant education boards decided to
allocate
scores to the subject in the crucial school-leaving examinations. As
per
the current guidelines, the assessment will not be based on the
conventional
‘study-text-books-write-examination’ mode. Grades will depend on
how active
the examinee has been ‘on the ground’.**
**
CSE's Environment Education Unit has always been working towards
providing
easy-to-understand reading material. Our new publication on this
subject
is an attempt to lend teachers a helping hand. It unfolds in two
sections: Climate Change: how to make sense of it all,  Natural
Resources: how to share and care. Here, the key issues selected adhere
strictly to curriculum guidelines. However, they are introduced to
students
not as a paragraph to memorise, but as an activity to do.**
**
Each activity sheet begins with a Curriculum Connect, a brief note to
teachers that matches suggested assignments to the curriculum stream
(sciences, social sciences etc.) and to the class level (primary, mid
or
senior). Likewise, Gobar Gyan, a succinct backgrounder, that precedes
each
activity set, explains to students why they are being asked to do the
task.
We have made a determined effort to make each of these four-page
activity
sheets self contained. Each activity sheet includes references to
external
information materials, online linkages and relevant data.**
**
Introductory price of the book is Rs 290/- (USD39)**
**
Order multiple copies of this activity book as you will need to make
copies
of the various activities to be given out to students as
assignments.**
**
For Indian Buyers:**
**
Send your payment by DD/Cheque payable AT PAR for the required amount,
drawn
in favour of Centre for Science and Environment, payable in New Delhi.
You
can also order your copies online by visiting
