Students can review the EPA's Air Quality Index (AQI) and begin to brainstorm possible solutions to local air pollution. Additionally, students can host air quality report broadcasts for the school building; the student-led reports can include: (1) school-yard locations tested, (2) recommended action for the day based on the data collected, and (3) ways that the school community can help to improve air quality in the local area. The CanAirlO project helps connect students to big ideas in science including Earth as a complex and dynamic system and our dependence on Earth processes.
