CAREER DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES FOR THE ELEMENTARY GRADES

From accountant and astronaut to x-ray technologist, this book provides subject-related (science, math, social studies, language arts, fine arts, health, computers) projects for 138 careers. After a brief description of the career, each activity page gives materials needed (some have reproducible worksheets), open-ended discussion questions, and directions for teaching at two levels of difficulty. Mail carrier, for example, involves writing and delivering letters plus zip code study. For optical technician, students do experiments with light while the emergency medical technician concentrates on fire safety activities. Grades 3–6. Bibliography. Illustrated. 8½" x 10".
