This Lake Alive: An Interdisciplinary Handbook for Teaching and Learning about the Lake Champlain Basin
"This PDF is not a curriculum; it is an opportunity to create curriculum. One reader likened THIS LAKE ALIVE! to a kitchen cupboard, not a recipe book. The chapters are designed to help you create an interdisciplinary study of the Lake Champlain Basin. Geology, Geography, History, Nautical Archeology, Living Treasures and Ecology contain informational essays written for the teacher and student. Activities are presented with the middle level learner in mind but can be adjusted to any age—including adults."
