Integrating Population Studies into Earth Science

Think earth science and you think of rocks, water and the physical elements that make up our planet. But what about the people and animals that inhabit the earth. Population Education has a new way to teach about ecosystems by putting the focus on population. “The Earth Matters: Studies for our Global Future” high school classroom CD-ROM curriculum includes 16 units that contain 32 student readings, 43 classroom activities and a wide assortment of information about climate change, distribution of wealth and food as well as economic development. Everything can be printed for students to take home or work on in class. Produced by Population Education, the Earth Matters works with both Macs and PCs and costs $15.
