Graphing Ozone Chemistry: Introduction

If you need a comprehensive review of the development of Earth's atmosphere through the ages, then this is for you! The presentation starts with a introduction to theories of planet formation and initial distribution of isotopes in the...

Scientists discovered a hole in the ozone layer in 1980, and by 2000, the hole was three times the size of the United States. Through global efforts, scientists discovered the cause and worked together to get countries to implement a...

A lesson plan that will help teachers learn more about ozone and guide students in a graphing stratospheric ozone. The lesson plan includes four parts, an introduction, links to ozone chemistry and two links for graphing activities.

Students analyze ozone data.  In this atmosphere lesson, students will use a NASA resource to gather data for different regions of the Earth.  Students will then create a graph for their data and answer related questions. 

You may have heard of CFCs and how harmful they can be to the ozone layer, but do you know the process that chlorine undergoes to contribute to this destruction? NASA explores this topic and has charted the depletion of the ozone since...

High schoolers use data microsets of mean near-surface air temperature and tropospheric ozone residual averages to infer patterns. Students analyze changes in tropospheric ozone and then hypothesize about the consequences of these changes.

This site provides information and activities for classes to learn more about ozone depletion and UV radiation.

A detailed overview of the ground-level ozone, tropospheric ozone, with explanations about how it is called the bad ozone and how it varies day to day. All information is reinforced through pictures, graphs, and learning activities....

A detailed overview of the chemistry of ozone and its role in the atmosphere. Students learn about the benefits and hazards of ozone. All information is reinforced through pictures, graphs, and learning activities. Learning activities...

Students discuss the layers of the atmosphere, and the history of the ozone hole. They discuss the chemistry of the ozone formation. Students compare seasonal data collected with ozonesondes. They compare Antarctic and Arctic ozone hole...
