What educators are saying
Great 2nd day activity for the unit. Kept students engaged, got us up and moving and forced them to work together!
My students really enjoyed this activity and learning about air pollution at their own pace rather than having the "sage on the stage" approach of teaching. They liked the "guide on the side" approach much better and they retained the information well.

Description
Engage students with CRITICAL THINKING and DATA ANALYSIS as they learn about different aspects of air pollution!
⭐ Get this activity at a huge discount in our Pollution Activities Set! ⭐
Eight air pollution stations are included, each with a different focus question and short activity. Students practice different skills at each station all while learning about different aspects of air pollution. Station cards include text passages to read, diagrams to analyze, data and graphs to analyze, a map to interpret, and a timeline. Students answer questions on a corresponding worksheet as they move through each station.
Both PRINT AND DIGITAL versions are included!
Air Pollution Topics (1 Station Each):
- What is air pollution? (reading)
- Where does it come from? (diagram)
- What are the main types? (info-chart)
- How does it affect people? (text, infographic, and bar graph)
- Is it distributed evenly globally? (map analysis)
- What does the data show? (data table and graphs to analyze)
- What is the Air Quality Index? (text and chart)
- Are there air pollution laws? (text and timeline)
This Resource Includes:

NGSSHS-ESS3-2
Evaluate competing design solutions for developing, managing, and utilizing energy and mineral resources based on cost-benefit ratios. Emphasis is on the conservation, recycling, and reuse of resources (such as minerals and metals) where possible, and on minimizing impacts where it is not. Examples include developing best practices for agricultural soil use, mining (for coal, tar sands, and oil shales), and pumping (for petroleum and natural gas). Science knowledge indicates what can happen in natural systems—not what should happen.
NGSSMS-ESS3-4
Construct an argument supported by evidence for how increases in human population and per-capita consumption of natural resources impact Earth’s systems. Examples of evidence include grade-appropriate databases on human populations and the rates of consumption of food and natural resources (such as freshwater, mineral, and energy). Examples of impacts can include changes to the appearance, composition, and structure of Earth’s systems as well as the rates at which they change. The consequences of increases in human populations and consumption of natural resources are described by science, but science does not make the decisions for the actions society takes.
NGSSMS-ESS3-3
Apply scientific principles to design a method for monitoring and minimizing a human impact on the environment. Examples of the design process include examining human environmental impacts, assessing the kinds of solutions that are feasible, and designing and evaluating solutions that could reduce that impact. Examples of human impacts can include water usage (such as the withdrawal of water from streams and aquifers or the construction of dams and levees), land usage (such as urban development, agriculture, or the removal of wetlands), and pollution (such as of the air, water, or land).
