SCIENCE CONCEPT:
- Environmental conditions, temperature, density, and pressure,
are continually changing.
STUDENT OBJECTIVE:
- The student will observe the amount of pollutants gathered over
a set period of time and the data will enable the student to make
seasonal comparisons.
OVERVIEW:
- Pollutants of all kinds are largely products of physical and
biological forces that are constantly effecting the Earth.
Animals produce carbon dioxide, volcanoes produce sulfur. The
wind is constantly moving the pollutant particles in the
atmosphere. Air pollution is, by far, the most dangerous form
of pollution. It is in the air that we breathe and directly
has an impact on our health. These pollutants are invisible
but can be lethal to all of us. The biggest source of
pollution is from cars and trucks which is produce by
combustible engines.
