The Basic Science Education Series consists of at least 52 booklets that I am aware of...
This one is no exception in being filled with beautiful illustrations as well as excellent information in a concise and compact form. Each booklet is 36 pages in length with 12 or more suggestions at the end as to experiments applicable to the topic. The series main author is Bertha Morris Parker, whereas the publication and printing dates I have seen range from 1949 through 1961...the 50s being optimum for this beautiful and thorough type of education. Although the written notations on the booklets I have state a Jr. High level, I see no problem in understanding them at a grade school level as well. Highly recommended.

Product Description

We now know that moderate amounts of physical activity are essential for good health, and yet only 40% of our population are regularly physically active. What can you do as a professional to help people become physically active, not only for tomorrow, but for a lifetime?

It's no easy task to get people out of their cars and onto their bikes; out of the elevators and onto the stairs; out of their offices and onto the walking paths. Changing people's behavior is never easy. But Promoting Physical Activity, the CDC's new guide for community action, will help you do so. It is a practical reference, logically organized, and loaded with useful information.

The guide begins by clearly explaining the benefits of physical activity and how to achieve a moderately active lifestyle. Next you'll learn step-by-step strategies for increasing the probability of individuals becoming physically active. You'll also find numerous ideas for specific actions you can take to promote physical activity in your community, worksite, and school. The book's Resources for Action section contains website addresses and contact information for dozens of relevant agencies, organizations, and programs across the country, as well as other resources that will help you offer successful physical activity promotional programs.

Promoting Physical Activity equips you to reach out to the physically inactive people in your community and get them excited about physical activity. Drawing on the latest theories for changing behavior, this innovative resource shows you how to find out what matters most to the people you want to help. By learning to focus on their perceptions and by understanding the barriers that keep them from being active, you'll be able to create physical activity programs that your specific audience wants, needs, and is ready for. Then they'll be motivated to make active choices in their daily lives.

Whether you've just become interested in promoting physical activity or are an experienced professional looking for ways to improve existing programs, this user-friendly guide has something for you:

-Creative, fresh ideas for promoting physical activity in your community, workplace, school, or health care facility

-Practical examples of situations similar to those you may face, drawn from a variety of settings

-Advice on forming successful partnerships with other community organizations

-Helpful hints on how to create a positive environment where physical activity is accessible, safe, affordable, and fun

-Extensive information on sources you can turn to for additional help

Promoting Physical Activity is a treasure chest of useful information for all professionals concerned with improving our public's health. Whether you're a full-time health promotion professional, an administrator or practitioner who provides intervention programs, an educator who teaches about active living, or a health care professional, you'll find this terrific new resource indispensable.

From the supplier: The US Department of Agriculture has extended the deadline for compliance with the Nutritional Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (NLEA) for meat and poultry products by one year to May 1994. The Food and Drug Administration is mulling over a nine-month extension but is committed to publishing rules for NLEA compliance by November 1992. The estimated cost of compliance by the food industry with the NLEA within six months ranges from $3.3 billion to $4 billion. The National Food Processors Association contends that a full year extension to May 1994 would save the industry $2.7 billion.

From the supplier: The Department of Education's final report on Barriers, Benefits, and Costs of Using Private Schools to Alleviate Overcrowding in Public Schools was released in November, 1998. The report bears directly on the Religious Right's campaign to get governmental support for private and sectarian schools through vouchers. Urban areas were studied under the premise that nonpublic schools could be used to relieve overcrowding in large areas.
