Were gains similar with 2-3, 4-6 and 7-9 grade students?
No. When compared to their control peers, the attitudes and knowledge gains of 2-3 grade students were greater, followed by 4-6 grade students, followed by 7-9 grade students. The FLP materials worked as intended with elementary students, second through sixth graders. Elementary students in the experimental group (whose teachers had the FLP materials) had significantly greater knowledge gains and increases in positive attitudes than students in the control groups. Junior high students (7-9) in the experimental group recorded higher cognitive gains and more positive attitudes than their control group cohorts did, but the differences were not statistically significant. • Do changes in students’ FLP knowledge and attitudes differ by residence in rural, suburban or urban areas? Yes. Suburban students in the experimental grade 2-3 classes showed greater knowledge gains than their rural contemporaries. Rural 2-3 grade students recorded greater gains in positive attitudes than their suburban
