The Encyclopedia of the Environment is a comprehensive reference for Grades 5-9 that promotes science education by sing the environment as a theme. It takes advantage of trends in both state/federal education strategies, which increasingly advocate environmental education, and in science reform efforts (e.g., Project 2061), which advocate the use of major integrating themes. It will be interdisciplinary, including science history economics, geography, social studies, and humanities. It will be designed in two formats: conventional books and interactive, multimedia "Compact-Disc-Read only Memory" (CD ROM). The print version (publisher: Macmillan Publishing Company) will include twelve, 144-page, separately indexed full-color volumes, using case studies to integrate topics. Sidebars will contain interesting facts relevant information, explorations of science themes, literature, careers, and biographies. The CD-ROM (publisher: Jostens Learning Corporation) will contain all print version material, plus audio (sounds, speeches, narratives), possibly full motion video, and simulations. It will be searchable through multiple paths, including topics, picture/movies, problems, point-of-view, historical/geographic, and careers. Also included will be a set of 20 off-line lessons, integrating the encyclopedia into science and social science curricula and providing a model for curriculum development. Contributing organizations include the AAAS, the World Bank, the U.S. Department of Energy, NASA, the U.S. EPA, and the National Gallery, the Smithsonian Institution, and other government agencies. Simultaneous publication will be September 1993.

环境百科全书是5-9年级的综合参考资料，以唱环境为主题来促进科学教育。它利用了州/联邦教育战略和科学改革努力(如2061年计划)的趋势，前者日益提倡环境教育，后者主张使用主要的综合主题。它将是跨学科的，包括科学史、经济学、地理学、社会学和人文科学。它将设计成两种格式：传统图书和交互式多媒体“光盘只读存储器”(CD-ROM)。印刷版(出版商：麦克米伦出版公司)将包括12,144页，单独索引的全色卷，使用案例研究来整合主题。侧栏将包含有趣的事实、相关信息、科学主题的探索、文学、职业和传记。该光盘(出版商：约斯滕斯学习公司)将包含所有印刷版材料，加上音频(声音、演讲、叙述)，可能还包括全动态视频和模拟。它将可以通过多种途径进行搜索，包括主题、图片/电影、问题、视角、历史/地理和职业。还将包括一套20节离线课程，将百科全书纳入科学和社会科学课程，并为课程开发提供模式。参与展览的机构包括美国科学促进会、世界银行、美国能源部、美国国家航空航天局、美国环保署、国家美术馆、史密森学会和其他政府机构。同时出版的将是1993年9月。
