Description:In 1992 the Ohio Sea Grant Education Program produced a set of 'scenarios' depicting scientists' best estimates of how the Great Lakes region will be affected by global change. In all the 'scenarios' human uses of Great Lakes resources were emphasized, because the region is the home for 30.7 percent of the U.S. population and one in three Canadians. Dependence on water resources is reflected in our economy, culture, and history, as well as in our understanding of interactions in the earth system. This activity book was developed as a supplement to the scenarios, because surveys among the region's teachers have indicated a need and desire for Great Lakes education materials that address current environmental topics and are ready for classroom use. Global change issues bring to education: (1) a reason for integrating the sciences, (2) a need for incorporating social concerns in science teaching, and (3) a demand to develop collaborative working styles that draw on the diverse skills of all stakeholders in an issue. The materials have been designed to use current data and information access skills, offer productive collaboration experiences, and provide personal decision- making opportunities.
