Abstract

The National Science Foundation MSP Pathways in Environmental Literacy Project is focused on creating learning progressions for environmental science across grade levels 6-12, which includes collecting and analyzing data on students’ development of conceptual understanding about the carbon cycle, water cycle, and biodiversity. The Quantitative Reasoning(QR) Theme of the project is researching the impact of quantitative reasoning on students’ ability to make informed decisions about the environmental grand challenges facing their generation. This paper will report on findings based on clinical interviews and written assessments of students’ QR ability in the context of environmental science
