How Green Is Your Granny?
CSEF · 2010 Behavioral & Social Sciences
Overview
Objectives/Goals To determine which age group is the most and least eco-friendly based on answers in a survey. Methods/Materials A clipboard, a pencil, a survey, directions Results The 60 year old females are the most eco-friendly and the high school girls are the least eco-friendly. Conclusions/Discussion My hypothesis was incorrect. My hypothesis stated that the 50 year olds would be the least eco-friendly which was incorrect. And my hypothesis stated that the 20 year olds would be the most eco-friendly which was also incorrect. It was very surprising to me that the 60 year old females were the most eco-friendly. It was not as surprising to me that the high school girls were the least eco-friendly. Maybe one of the reasons why the high school girls being the least eco-friendly was not as surprising is because most of the high school girls do not take the time to care for the environment and do not realize how much money they are wasting by not being eco-friendly.
Summary statement
My project is to see if people are trying to help the environment or not, even if they say they know about the environment.
Help received
Mrs. Sarah Rines helped with making sure all information was correct and testable.
