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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 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.

Students simulate the development of smog. They discover how it forms naturally in nature. They read news articles about the ozone and pollution. They discuss what they can do to lower the pollution they generate.

Outdoor air pollution poses a major threat to human health and threatens the ozone layer. Students will examine real time weather data in this extensive unit to learn how air quality is measured, its health impact on at-risk populations,...

Earth Day is a worldwide celebration held annually on April 22nd. The purposes of Earth Day, the history of and the various activities held around the world are described. Activities and projects that can be done daily or year round are...

Take an interactive quiz over ecological problems affecting the environment. After completing the quiz, check your score, and then revisit any incorrect question for further review.

This is a great set of lesson plans through which students explore air pollution and its causes and become aware of air pollution trends and how air pollution affects health. Many questions are examined during the course of study: "What...
