Graphing Stratospheric Ozone

Did you know the hole in the ozone is seasonal and filled by January every year? The instructional activity uses scientific measurements of the ozone over the South Pole to understand patterns. Scholars learn that the hole grew bigger...

Students locate the ozone layer of the atmosphere. They explain natural formation of ozone. They list chemicals that react with ozone. They explain how CFC's destroy ozone.

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

Students 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.

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 collect and interpret data to make predictions about the levels of ozone in the atmosphere. Using the internet to collect data students use their collected data to create a line graph for analysis. Students make mathematical...

Students create and analyze graphs using archived atmospheric data to compare the ozone levels of selected regions around the world.

Student use radiosonde data from a weather balloon launch to distinguish the characteristics of the lower atmosphere. They learn the layers of the atmosphere. They graph real atmospheric data.
