Using a simulated air sample, environmental or earth science pupils examine the components. You will need to prepare the faux air by using a hole punch and various colors of construction paper. Each color will represent a different...

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. 

Simple, but suitable, this lesson gives mini-meteorologists a glimpse at ozone in the atmosphere. By reading an article, they find that ozone in the stratosphere is vital to life, but ozone in the troposphere is problematic. A reading...

Explore the causes of ozone depletion and the effect on plankton, algae, plants, amphibians, and humans. Learn how the Montreal Protocol has possibly helped reverse the decline of the ozone layer. Warning: photos of skin and eye...

The earth sciences are the focus for this Jeopardy-style review game. Categories include geology, space, scientific investigation, meteorology, and oceanography. Diagrams and pictures are involved with most of the questions, making this...

Middle-school meteorologists absorb information about ultraviolet radiaton and consider the ozone layer. The book that learners are supposed to refer to is not available, so you might want to locate some graphics or posters...

Sixth graders construct and interpret graphs from ozone data collected in the Phoenix area.

Students engage in lesson concerned with the concept of the ozone layer. They write a reflective journal using prior knowledge. Students read sources of information about the existence of a hole in the ozone layer. Finally they create...

Students describe and compare the layers of the atmosphere. They explain how to measure the temperature of the atmosphere. They also explain what causes the atmosphere to heat up in some places more than in others.

In this ozone worksheet students complete an interactive activity on the thinning of the ozone then answer a series of questions on the earths UV rays. 

In this first land plants worksheet, students read about the major events that allowed plants to evolve on Earth. Students read about the primary and secondary atmospheres, the formation of the ozone layer to protect from UV light and...

Students investigate the effects of UV light and ozone on plant and bacteria growth. In this ultraviolet light and ozone lesson plan, students grow bean and mustard greens to study the effects of UV light and ozone on the plant growth....

In this weather vocabulary worksheet, students define 34 terms related to weather and climate. Terms include instruments used to measure temperature, pressure, wind and humidity as well as types of fronts, conduction, convection and...

In this environment worksheet, students distinguish between UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C radiation and explain. Then they list various explanations of the source of ozone depletion. Students also describe why an increase in smog ozone does not...

Fifth graders, in groups, conduct an experiment in which they measure ground level ozone levels using an ozone measuring kit. They analyze and compare the weather conditions and locations where ozone readings are highest and lowest.

In this composition of the air worksheet, students answer questions about the air, what it is composed of and the components of air such as the ozone layer, fog and rain.

In this research instructional activity, students look up the answers to three questions about the environment. They write short answers in the chart after researching if ozone harms humans, how many acres of rainforest are being...

In this environment worksheet, students pretend they are Mother Nature as they answer 4 questions. They explain whether their temperature gets hotter with a fever, why the Ozone layer is leaving them, how big Mother Nature is compared to...

Students explore about the structure of Earth's atmosphere and about the stratospheric ozone. They discuss how it is produced and destroyed, where it is located, why it is important, and how it is changing. Students investigate about...

Students examine the issue of ozone depletion. They define key vocabulary terms, take a pre-quiz, discuss the quiz questions and answers, read an article, and answer discussion questions.

Students make a model of the four layers of Earth's atmosphere that represents the characteristics of each layer.

Students discuss Ozone Chemistry. They do research on the subject. They graph their data. They analyze the economic impact of removing CFC's from the biosphere, and graph the worldwide production of CFC's since their discovery.

Students use encyclopedias, science reference magazines, books, and other media to obtain information related to science concepts to complete a biographical sketch about a pollutant. They describe the six common pollutants and how they...

Learners study the ozone and measure its concentration in different areas. Students use Ecobadge strips and other equipement for measurement. Then they share their results on an on-line forum. Also, learners study environmental problems.
