TEACHERS: Will There Be Ozone
Tomorrow?
Note to Teacher: This lesson is based on
real-time ozone data that is available for the United States from May to
September. If this lesson is delivered outside of "Ozone Season", there
may not be data available for your region to support the lesson.
Objectives
Students will:
- collect and analyze real time data
- make comparisons and determinations about the status of ozone
in their local area
- predict the Ozone level for the next day
|
Materials
Assessment
-
Based on the data obtained in the search, have the students predict
what the ozone levels might be for the area over the next three days.
-
Have the students interpret possible patterns.
-
Have students analyze their predictions versus reality. Were the
predictions valid? Why or why not?
Implementation Tips:
Remember, this lesson is to be used during ozone season (May - September in
the U.S.) and does require real time information for student exploration. If
the lesson has to be executed outside of Ozone Season, try:
- using data from a state that could possibly have elevated ozone
levels throughout the year, like California, Texas, or Florida.
- using data from other countries, perhaps in another
hemisphere.
