From Foreword:

"Needed at all levels are teachers who know something about the body of facts called science. An even greater need is for teachers who recognize the important difference between merely transmitting the facts of science and inspiring in their pupils an awareness of their significance and an eagerness to discuss them.

"SCIENCE ACTIVITIES FOR TEACHERS created by and for teachers in Native American schools throughout the United States is the product of a two-year project sponsored by the American Indian Science and Engineering Society and the National Science Foundation. This book consist of lesson plans for grades K-12 and is divided into four themes: Mother Earth and Her Resources, Harmony, Disharmony, and Bridges - Past to Future.

"It is our hope that these lesson plans will enrich science instruction for both the teacher and the student."
