These kids are from 6-9 years old, so we limit the questions to 5. After a series is over, we have a debriefing to discuss the class, and if we need to ‘tweak’ anything. You will notice on the surveys that the question about food miles did not show a marked increase. The word, ‘distance’ was not understood by all the kids. We sure missed that one! For this age group we will change the way that question reads next time we use it.
