    2. Our research question We wanted to find out about children’s litter dropping habits. Our question was: Do younger children drop more litter than older children? Why did we choose to do this question?

    3. We sometimes had litter in our hands and didn’t know what to do with it, particularly if we didn’t have pockets in our shorts and there was no bin around. We wondered what others would do?

    4. 20 photos of litter around the school and in the wreck. 40 Questionnaires 20 questionnaires to children in year 5 20 questionnaires to children in years 1+2

    6. We piloted the questionnaire first. This means that we gave the questionnaire out to a few children to see if it was a good questionnaire. We needed to find out if the questionnaire could be improved. We didn’t want to use words that would be too difficult for younger children, for example.

    7. What did we find out? From the year 5 questionnaire 13/20 children drop litter 4/20 do it everyday Only 4 never drop it 8/20 put rubbish in the bush

    8. Results from years 1&2 14/20 said they never drop litter 2/20 said they drop litter once a day.

    9. Conclusion Our main conclusion was that young children, in years 1 and 2, do NOT drop as much litter as older children.
