Description
Is the air in your classroom actually cleaner than the parking lot outside? Your students probably have an opinion—but do they have the data? Join Vernier biology expert Colleen McDaniel and chemistry expert Dr. Melissa Hill as they walk through place-based air quality investigations that help students connect real environmental data to the health of their own communities.
You will:
• Learn how to frame air quality monitoring as place-based learning, starting with a local case study and using it to spark student-driven questions
• Learn how to use the Go Direct® Air Quality Sensor to measure specific parameters like particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, and VOCs, and understand what each one means for human and environmental health
• See how indoor/outdoor comparisons and traffic monitoring investigations generate meaningful data
• Connect air quality data to bigger chemistry concepts, including photochemical smog, acid deposition, and the science behind the Air Quality Index
Attendees who join us live will be entered to win a $100 gift certificate to Vernier Science Education!
