You may download free teacher guides
and free review versions of the student books as e-books
(for computer display only) from the GSS
view/download pages (password protected). The
free sample books are non-printing and NOT for local
reproduction at your school for use with classes.
If you decide to use the Global Systems Science materials
in your classrooms, you may do so in several ways:
- Buy hardcopy books. This is the most expensive
option. Current costs of hard copy books may be
found on the GSS PO/check
order page or the online
order pages.
- Buy the complete set of GSS materials (books
and software) on CD-ROM. Students can use the materials
on computer displays at school and/or at home. They
have license to print 2 copies of any or all the
pages of the books. See current
costs or online
order pages.
- Pay a license fee to make copies of the GSS e-books
and/or "self-publish" the materials in
hard copies. See current
costs or online
order pages.
- If you have some students who can or prefer to
use GSS e-books at home and some students who are
not able to use GSS e-books, you can "mix and
match"—get some hard copies and some
some GSS CD-ROMs or licenses in proportions to suit
your student population.

The Global System Science program is
supported by book and CD-ROM sales, license fees,
and grants we successfully apply for. By paying for
materials or license fees, you assure the highest
quality and future availability of GSS materials.
