  1. Air Pollution: What's the Solution?Using Real Time Data to Teach Air Pollution Speaker Air Quality Workshop for Teachers Location Date Air Pollution: What's the Solution?

  2. Project Goals • Guide student discovery of the causes and effects of ground-level ozone pollution • Engage students through the use of online real time data gathered by government air scientists Air Pollution: What's the Solution?

  3. Project Developers • Developed by the Stevens Institute of Technology, Center for Improved Engineering and Science Education • Funded by the U.S. EPA • Supervised by the nonprofit Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management and U.S. EPA Air Pollution: What's the Solution?

  4. Project Description • Designed for Grades 6 - 9 • Correlates with National Science Education Standards • Meets the Excellence in Environmental Education: Guidelines for Learning (K-12) objectives Air Pollution: What's the Solution?

  5. Real Time Data Technology can be a catalyst to improve K-12 education: • Increases problem-solving and critical thinking abilities • Enables visualization of complex concepts or phenomena • Promotes interactivity • Facilitates exploration of selected topics in greater depth • Provides opportunity for involvement in authentic tasks  Air Pollution: What's the Solution?

  6. Project Description • Use as a self-contained module or integrate lessons into existing curriculum • Contains six core lessons and four enrichment lessons • Can be taught in as few as six class sessions or expanded to 10 - 12 classes Air Pollution: What's the Solution?

  7. Project Description • Can be accessed on the internet or downloaded • Uses colorful maps and animations to show ozone formation throughout the U.S. • Is interactive, fun and engaging Air Pollution: What's the Solution?

  8. Skills and Knowledge Acquired Students will be able to: • Describe what ozone is, how it is formed and what the health effects are from breathing ground-level ozone • Create graphs to help visualize or recognize trends Air Pollution: What's the Solution?

  9. Skills and Knowledge Acquired • Predict when and where ground-level ozone may occur • Use knowledge gained to create awareness about ground-level ozone and the associated health effects Air Pollution: What's the Solution?

  10. Core Activities Ozone Between Us Weather’s Role Tracking Ozone Will There Be Ozone Tomorrow? Smog City What Can You Do? EnrichmentActivities Create Your Own Investigation People at Risk What is Your AQI? Transport Activities Air Pollution: What's the Solution?
