1. What do children in KS2 at my school think about global warming? Oscar Wilton Age 10

2. Introduction I wanted to research this topic because it�s a global disaster and not everyone thinks the same thing about it. I wanted to find out peoples views about recycling, transport, and if they were worried about global warming. My research question is �What do children in KS2 at my school think about global warming?�.

3. Methodology My participants were about 50 children from year 3-6. I sent out about 50 questionnaires and got 18 back. I chose those particular people because I thought they would understand global warming better than the younger children and would be mature enough to answer it. I used both open and closed questions. To analyse my closed questions I used tally charts To analyse my open questions I used coding. To do this I typed up all my answers then tried to sort them out into groups of similar answers.

4. Ethical issues To make sure the questionnaire was ethical, I explained difficult words so people would understand them. I asked people not to write their names on the questionnaire so the answers were anonymous. To make sure the questionnaires were confidential I kept them safe in a locked cupboard and didn�t talk about them to anybody else.

5. Findings Question 1 Are You worried about how global Warming is going to affect you? A lot of people are not sure. Maybe this is because they don�t know very much about global warning More people said they were worried than not worried.
