Appropriate Age Level: 6th Grade - Adult

Clean air is essential for life. Yet, how is our air? What about news reports about buildings that make people sick? How does air get dirty? What are the sources of polluntants?

Students use a lichen survey to add to our data enabling us to measure changes in air quality over time. Environmental Studies
