Each student activity has a corresponding instructional plan which is provided in the teacher's guide, consisting of specific objectives, suggested activities, and teaching strategies. A third section of the kit provides guidelines for the use of the instructional courseware which can be purchased with this kit. Also included are brochures about the kit and a poster which addresses conservation and the water cycle. (TW)
