Subtitled "Hands-on Learning in Grades 6-8", Teaching Green The Middle Years is a complete "green" teaching resource for middle school educators. The book contains over 50 of the best teaching strategies and activities contributed to Green Teacher magazine during the past decade -- all updated and revised for this special anthology. Readers will find a wealth of kid-tested ideas contributed by educators from across North America and covering a wide spectrum of environmental topics, from biodiversity to resource consumption to green technology. They include practical projects and new learning strategies that will inspire educators seeking innovative ideas for incorporating green themes into their programs.

Geographically-minded educators will find many of the articles and activities of particular interest. Readers will discover a temperate rainforest role-play, wind energy activities and an "ecological footprint calculation activity". Also included are learning activities that help young people distinguish between "needs" and "wants" and address important topics sucb as desertification, overpopulation, and the availability of fresh water around the world.
