Through this interactive module, students learn that the atmosphere is so much more than air, its complex role on Earth should be explored, and its quality carefully monitored and protected.

What do smog, acid rain, carbon monoxide, fossil fuel exhausts, and tropospheric ozone have in common? They are all examples of air pollution. This article describes the causes and effects of air pollution.

This is a great set of lesson plans through which students explore air pollution and its causes and become aware of air pollution trends and how air pollution affects health. Many questions are examined during the course of study: "What...

A quick overview of air quality and pollution.

The air pollution was so awful in Delhi, India on November 4th and 5th that 1,700 schools had to close. Find out the concerns and what can be done.

Find out what polluted air does to the human body and the studies that have led to that conclusion. Information on air pollution disasters in history. Requires Adobe Reader. [PDF]

Use national park webcams to determine how regional haze forms and reduces visibility. You can also explore the differences between smog and haze to determine some of the negative economic impacts regional haze can create.

Students develop their understanding of visible air pollutants with an incomplete combustion demonstration, a "smog in a jar" demonstration, and by building simple particulate matter collectors.

Young scholars develop an understanding of visible air pollutants with an incomplete combustion demonstration, a "smog in a jar" demonstration, building simple particulate matter collectors, and exploration of engineering roles related...

Multiple activities explore and explain why plants and animals need air to survive.

In this activity, students create molecule models using marshmallows to understand and explain how smog forms.

Article reports on the problem of extreme smog in many cities in China and various innovations that are being developed to help deal with the problem. Includes video.

In this lesson from "The Friends of Auntie Litter", (www.auntielitter.org), air pollution and harmful emissions, such as smog, will be explored. Students will also create a leaf rubbing. This is one lesson from the "Take Pride Statewide"...
