Teachers' ToolsPresentation Materials: Environmental QuizThe environmental quiz was developed at the University of Minnesota in 1991 for use in a course dealing with a broad array of economic, social, and environmental issues. Since that time, the quiz has been taken by thousands of college students across the United States and by a number of other groups including teachers, high school students, boy scouts, community leaders, and forest products industry employees. Results show a pervasive pessimism, revealed by the fact that students, as well as a surprisingly high percentage of others, consistently indicate environmental conditions to be worse than they really are. Respondents also consistently demonstrate a shocking level of misinformation about forests and domestic forests in particular. Read more about the environmental quiz at:
The environmental quiz is a great tool to use as the first part of a teaching unit to help students maintain interest in the discussion, for stimulating questions, or for providing a basis for more in-depth investigation of issues raised. A PowerPoint version of the environmental quiz is also available that can be used in conjunction with the printed environmental quiz or as a stand-alone presentation tool.
