Plants or Animals-Which do Junior High School Students Prefer to Study?
Wandersee, James H.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v23 n5 p415-26 May 1986
Determined if junior high school students prefer to study plants or animals and if their preferences are related to variables of grade level and/or sex. Findings show that, overall, students prefer animal study over plant study. Other findings (such as girls having a greater interest in biological topics than boys) are discussed. (JN)
