Influence of a three-week wildlife education curriculum on knowledge and attitudes of South Carolina\u27s Marlboro County High School ninth and tenth-grade biology students

The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of a three-week wildlife education curriculum on knowledge and attitudes of ninth and tenth-grade biology students in South Carolina. A three-week wildlife curriculum was incorporated into three high school biology classes in the same semester. The students were pre-tested and post-tested for knowledge and attitudes. The results indicate that the three-week curriculum had a positive influence on knowledge but did not influence wildlife attitudes. However, a substantial correlation occurred between the post-test attitude and knowledge scores, indicating that as students\u27 knowledge increased, their attitudes towards wildlife and environmental education became more positive. The study concluded that a three-week wildlife curriculum infused into an existing biology curriculum was not successful in significantly influencing environmental attitudes. Future research is needed to determine how environmental knowledge and attitudes are influenced by length of treatment, social economic status, race, culture, and gender

School Addition: Watseka, Illinois

Our task as a senior design group is to redesign the Wanda Kendall Elementary School in the City of Watseka Illinois. The school is currently used for second through fourth grade. The proposed redesign involves expanding the campus in order to be used for preschool-fifth grade students. This involves: a new, expanded or relocated parking lot with a bus lane, new classrooms, a gymnasium, cafeteria, tornado shelter, performing arts center, sufficient classroom sizes and hallways. The city has a vision of the new school being not only for students but for the community
