摘      要：Sense of place can be defined as a comprehensive integration of the geology, ecology, and cultural history of an area, and as such it constitutes an objective topic for standards-based, academic instruction (Brown and de Lacerda 1986). Developing students\ sense of place is a good and worthwhile goal of education generally, and the middle school years are an excellent time to teach sense of place. Middle school students are ready for increasingly comprehensive instruction, and science objectives for this age group typically include knowledge of geology, ecology, and cultural history.
