one of those things that is often quoted is the many studies that have shown that kids have developed their attitudes about science by kindergarten (or 3rd grade. or 6th....depending on the study).  I've heard and read this in many reputable places, but have been completely unable to put my hands on any actual study.  is this one of those apocryphal statistics, or has someone actually done this?  if anyone out there can point me to a resource, I'd love to hear about it.

many thanks.
