Outdoor Recreation and Applied Ecology. Revised.

This curriculum guide offers guidelines for structuring a course which exposes the students to various environmental careers. The guide is divided into three sections. The first section offers information about such a course: course description, purpose, credits, special or unique aspects, physical facilities, equipment, major materials, teacher certification, and evaluation. Section two includes 26 teaching units such as ecological systems, construction for outdoor recreation, camp management operation, and air in the environment. Each unit contains a work sheet with unit title, unit objectives, teaching sequence, unit length, prerequisites, evaluation, instruction materials, and general comments. The unit guidelines include the title of the unit, teaching objectives, content, suggested teaching-learning experiences, suggested evaluation methods, and suggested resource materials. The third section contains six appendices: Sources of Additional Reference Materials, Regional Listing of Natural and Man-Made Environmental Locations in North Carolina, Films and Visual Materials, Environmental Yearbooks, Suggestions and Procedures in Developing Nature Trails, and Suggestions and Procedures for Developing Teaching-Learning Stations.
