Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My! Children's Conceptions of Forests and Their Inhabitants.
Strommen, Erik
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v32 n7 p683-98 Sep 1995
Interviewed first-grade children (n=40) about forests and living things found in them. Reports that children generally assigned most forest-dwellers to the forests, but also tended to assign almost all other animals, especially carnivores, to the forest as well. Results indicate a general lack of awareness of plant life, insects, water resources, and other forest features. (11 references) (Author/JRH)
