Quiz: the environment

Quiz designed for children with 36 questions related to the topic of environment and its protection. In some questions the answer is very obvious, since the other possible answers are humorous; others, however, are a bit more difficult. Check your answers (after having answered all the questions) by clicking on Auswertung at the bottom of the page. You are then told how many answers are right and which answers are wrong (just go back and try wrong ones again). Click on the second link for information about the environment and its protection.
