PART 1: Gather the Data
- Working as a group, collect the
ozone data for Trenton, NJ for July 19 - 24, 2004.
Note: These images are not animated like the images used in the previous lesson.
Determine the AQI Color,
Air Quality, and Maximum AQI Value for all seven days and enter the data into the table
on the Student Worksheet.

the average between the two numbers of the AQI range. For example, Green
has a range of 0 – 50, with an average, of 25.
In another browser window, or another computer, access the Weather Underground site, and collect
