Description
Some scientists and science educators believe that the most effective strategy for raising science literacy among future workers and voters is to focus on the youngest members of the public. The reviews in this publication were undertaken to increase public understanding and appreciation of the importance and promise of the methods of science in human progress. This publication is directed towards librarians, teachers, and parents who are concerned about science information and education for children 5 through 12 years of age and covers science and mathematics books, films, filmstrips, and videocassettes. These materials cover the life and physical sciences, mathematics, engineering and technology, medicine, and the social and behavioral sciences. A wide range of topics is covered including science museums, environmental problems, careers in science, oceanography, insect culture, robots, and the ancient world. Audiovisual materials include such diverse topics as energy and resources, chemical interactions, meteorology, aquatic environments, zoological sciences, medicine, and engineering. The indexes list authors, titles and subjects, series titles, and distributors. Availability and cost information are provided in the annotations. (RT)
