Abstract	The six lessons contained in this guide provide students with a basic understanding of the scientific and environmental principles that govern modern package design and development. By completing the activities that accompany each of the lesson plans, students will be able to: (1) define a package and describe its functions; (2) differentiate between types of packages, including nature's packages; (3) describe how modern packaging evolved and why it is necessary; (4) understand the scientific, social, and environmental considerations that affect the design of a package; (5) discuss how packaging helps consumers reduce the amount of garbage they throw away; (6) define and identify different types of barriers; (7) define source reduction; and (8) create their own flexible package for a product. The lessons are not intended to stand alone and should be used to supplement existing curricula and classroom experiences in science, ecology, and home economics. A brief true-false pretest measuring knowledge of garbage and packaging begins the lessons. The correct pretest answers are explained in detail and address environmental facts and myths. The lesson plans contain objectives, background information, classroom activities, discussion questions, and extensions. Contains 10 references, a list of 20 periodicals, and 20 sources of additional information. A glossary of terms is included. (LZ)
