| Abstract: | A study of students from a primary school and its local secondary school was conducted to investigate students' relative interests
in geology and biology during the years prior to Year 10. Students from Years 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 were interviewed, using an
innovative interview technique, and results show that interest in both subjects appears to be fairly evenly distributed throughout
all years. This paper reports on the study conducted and illustrates the success of the interview technique developed to accommodate
all students, especially those from younger year levels.
