What do children in my school think about zoos?

Deciding on my research question

• My own opinion is conflicted.
• On the one hand I love zoos because I get to see
  the animals that I probably would never get to
  see otherwise.
• But on the other hand I dont like zoos because
  they capture and cage the animals.

How I collected data

1. Decided on my topic
2. Decided on the best questions to ask, keeping
   most of them open.
3. Then I made my questionnaire.
4. Gave out the questionnaires to years 1 5.
5. Collected in the completed questionnaires.
6. Analysed the data by coding the answers to the
   open questions.

My conclusion

• Most children agree with my conflicted opinion
  about zoos.
• On question 3 I asked if the children liked to
  visit zoos, and most of them said yes but at the
  end I asked if they wanted to change anything
  then how would they and most of them said that
  they wood change quite a lot.

What I would do differently next time

• The thing that I would do differently is put more
  questions in and I would also change some.

What else I would like to find out

• The other thing that I would like to find out is
  what do the children think that animals are good?
  
• The answer I would put down would be that they
  are good because they protect the animals that
  the poachers capture therefor it is less likely
  that an type of animal will get extinked
