The environmental quiz was developed at the University of Minnesota in 1991 for use in a course dealing with a broad array of economic, social, and environmental issues. As of March 2012 the quiz has been updated with new statistical information from the U.S. Census Bureau, the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. Department of Energy, and the USDA Forest Service. The environmental quiz is a great tool to use as the first part of a teaching unit to help students maintain interest in the discussion, for stimulating questions, or for providing a basis for more in-depth investigation of issues raised.
