Children's Models of Understanding of Two Major Global Environmental Issues (Ozone Layer and Greenhouse Effect).
Boyes, Edward; Stanisstreet, Martin
Research in Science and Technological Education, v15 n1 p19-28 May 1997
Aims to quantify the models that 13- and 14 year-old students hold about the causes of the greenhouse effect and ozone layer depletion. Assesses the prevalence of those ideas that link the two phenomena. Twice as many students think that holes in the ozone layer cause the greenhouse effect than think the greenhouse effect causes ozone depletion. (DDR)
