ABOUT THE “-OLOGIES” SERIES
The self-directed activities in these comprehensive units are keyed to Bloom’s Taxonomy. They emphasize higher-level thinking skills and, although not so marked, they also encourage fluency, originality, and risk-taking. The teacher's section provides answers and additional background information as well as quizzes, tests, and a crossword.
Grades 5–12
Anthropology
Students gain an appreciation for and an understanding of other cultures which are different from their own. They come to understand the need to respect these differences and learn that in spite of vast differences among cultures, all peoples have certain needs that remain the same.
Archaeology
The ancient world has a great deal to teach us. Its achievements in literature, art, philosophy and religion were remarkable. The book presents various civilizations and acquaints students with these fantastic achievements. It also teaches about the fascinating field of archaeology and the work of archaeologists.
Mythology
The objective of this book is to introduce students to various mythologies and to give them a better understanding of the ancient cultures from which the mythologies sprang. It is also intended that the increased knowledge will better enable students to understand and appreciate the many allusions to mythology with which they come in contact in their academic and leisure lives. Mythologies of the ancient Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Norse, and others are included.
Psychology
Psychology is the scientific study of mental processes and behavior. Students gain insight into the varied fields of psychology. They come to see how all of the branches help humans in their attempt to “know ourselves.” Among the topics are heredity and environment, problem solving, intelligence, perception, conflict psychotherapies, and social behavior.
