First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a structured climate change education program can improve seventh graders' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors about the environment. The program includes classroom lessons, posters, quizzes, and eco-friendly giveaways like cloth bags and seeds. Researchers compare students who receive the program to those who do not, measuring changes in awareness and attitudes using surveys.
