They are all data-rich, and include a significant number of both standard and web-based references, some of which are required to complete activities. Included with the activities are some suggestions about possible ways to use them in cooperative learning situations and how lessons can be structured according to the learning cycle. Subject matter is compatible with existing curriculum, and the activities require minimal preparation time and equipment needs. This material covers a range of environmental issues in the Great Lakes: resource use, water quality, bioaccumulation of toxins in the food chain, human health risks associated with eating contaminated fish, watershed management issues, and oil pollution. Other subject areas available in this series are Great Lakes shipping, climate and water movement, land and water interactions, and life in the Great Lakes.
