The survey wasadapted for EiE use. To measure the impact of EiE on students, the attitude survey wasadministered to a “test/EiE” group of students who used the EiE curriculum (students weretaught an EiE unit and related science) and a “control” group whose students were taught relatedscience, but did not use EiE materials. Data about student sex, race/ethnicity, and free andreduced lunch status were also collected. The attitudes instrument was administered to studentsin six states in a pre/post design.

Next,students generated the derivative graph to discover differences in rates of change of water runoffwithin these three watershed scenarios.
