Overview
By following the scientific method, students investigate air quality in their own community, identifying the relative impacts of factors that contribute to poor air quality. By conducting a community inventory, investigating AQHI in Alberta and in an international city, students can recognize the factors that actually contribute to lowered air quality.
Objective
- Students investigate factors impacting air quality in their own community
- Students will compare local air quality to global air quality, comparing factors between locations
- Students will make connections between personal actions and air quality
Materials
- Student handout
- Internet access for research
