What we have so far..

Our group decided to go with education as the theme for our project. Our goal is to determine student knowledge of climate change on both the high school and collegiate levels through a survey; the survey will also provide students with factual information on the topic once they have completed it. We plan on surveying a sample of FGCU college students, and we have to contact a few local high schools to see if they'll allow us to survey their students. We then plan on comparing the results of the two sample groups to see if there is any difference in their knowledge of the topic. We also believe the survey will provide insight into what misconceptions currently exist about climate change within this age range. The survey will consist of ten questions in both multiple choice and true/false format. We used our quiz from class and web resources to come up with the questions last week. When the students finish taking the survey, we will provide them with the answers along with additional information about climate change. Educating the public about the many misconceptions surrounding climate change and providing them with actual facts is an important step toward finding a solution to the issues, which is why we chose this idea for our solutions project.
