Abstract

Ecological or environmental programs integrated into science courses in the elementary grades can make children aware that they can have either a positive or a negative effect on their environment. The following bibliography was compiled from articles and dissertations on environmental education and children's awareness, attitudes, and perceptions of the natural environment. Citations were retrieved from searches of Ecology Abstracts, ERIC, Dissertation Abstracts, General Science Index, and PsycLIT using online or CD-ROM databases. Topics covered include curriculum development, promoting ecological awareness in young children, development of tests for environmental attitudes, summer nature camps, learning opportunities in nearby natural resource areas, field trips to public gardens, children's experiences with vegetation on school grounds, inner-city attitudes, rural attitudes, and waste management. Contains 67 references. (PVD)
