"We need to teach our students that the source of the fact is as important as the fact itself." - John Christensen, author

Global Science is an integrated science program designed by high school science teachers for high school students.

Students will be confronted with many scientific and social challenges in the twenty-first century. Among them will be to extract and use our resources in environmentally responsible ways. Help them learn to make wise decisions.

Global Science encourages students to ask hard-hitting questions and discuss alternative solutions to resource problems. Global Science is a truly integrated text, combining life, earth, and physical science with chemistry and physics to provide students with a complete view of their world.

Objectives of Global Science:

• Develop an awareness of the interrelatedness of resources, economics, environment, food, production, and population

• Understand concepts and laws that govern our use of resources

• Examine our present energy sources and consumption patterns, and use this information as a component for future planning

• Apply the fundamentals of exponential growth to population and resources situations at national and global levels

• Model the depletion of a nonrenewable resource and use the model to understand historical resource depletion data

• Grasp the complexity of developing useful resources by examining their widespread use

• Master the basic principles of economics and how these principles relate to resource/environmental problems

• Acquire basic scientific skills and attitudes needed for problem solving

• Observe, analyze, and draw conclusions from situations related to resources and the environment as preparations for becoming responsible citizens

• Become acquainted with careers and challenges in resource industries that depend on vital resource decisions

IT CAN BE USED FOR:

• 9th grade core science courses

• a second- or third-year lab science with a focus on issues in science

• science-technology-society courses

• integrated science courses

• environmental science courses

"Global Science motivates students because its hands-on approach gets students
 involved in the energy conservation dilemma." 
-  Tracey Ackerman, Mother of Mercy High School, Cincinnati, Ohio
