This is the issue of maintaining the environment and ensuring that the earth stays healthy. An aspect of this issue is the prevalence of knowledge verse attitudes towards the environment. Therefore, J.C. Bradley, T.M. Waliczek, and J.M. Zajicek decided to run an experiment to test what the difference is between the environmental knowledge and attitudes amongst high school students. In order to complete this, they first administered a pre-test for the students and then placed them in an environmental science course. Once this course was over, they administered a post-test. These tests were run to determine if there was a correlation between the knowledge and attitude in these students. The hypothesis for this experiment was that these tests would show a correlation between the two aspects under investigation within these individuals (J.C. Bradley, T.M. Waliczek, J.M. Zajicek, 1999). The participants in this study were high school students. The instructors of this experiment contacted 150 schools within Texas, who taught environmental science courses. Out of these schools 18 of them stated that they would partake in the study. 475 students from ninth to twelve grades, were chosen to participate in this study (J.C. Bradley et al., 1999). The
