Abstract	Two booklets, a guide and a handbook, comprise the grades 7-9 component of a series of guides for incorporating environmental education into the existing curriculum. The materials emphasize a multidisciplinary approach, use the concept of interdependence as an organizing theme, and offer suggestions for using the local community as a resource. Eight objectives, based on knowledge of systems, include understanding how population changes influence all other environmental issues, developing constructive attitudes toward one's surroundings, and comparing ways in which diverse human groups interact with their environment. The guide presents ideas and bibliographic suggestions for multidisciplinary study. For example, science classes could research major sources of pollutants, such as carbon monoxide, and report their effects on natural systems. English and art classes could study folk art of various cultures and note the ways that people use art to express their feelings about the world in terms of food sources, homes, gods, and landforms. The handbook contains four activity units in which students study effects of a nationwide airline strike and analyze the role of noise as a by-product of some systems and a necessary component of others. A simulation challenges students to identify and devise systems necessary for subsistence on a five-acre plot of land. (AV)
