Description
Grades 9–12.
- Investigate the effects of air pollutants on living organisms
- Conduct experiments to determine the effects of chemical air pollutants on the environment
- Assess the levels of ozone and air particulates in a local area
Explore different types of chemical and physical air pollutants and research the sources of these pollutants, as well as the health hazards associated with them. Students test for ozone and particulate matter in their area and observe the effects of gases on the pH of water. To extend their learning, students design and conduct experiments to test the effects of air pollution on living organisms. Part of the Inquiries in Science® series. Materials are sufficient for 30 students working in groups.
