Stratospheric Ozone
Pupils 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 the...
Curated OER
Linkages Between Surface Temperature And Tropospheric Ozone
Students collect and interpret data to make predictions about the levels of ozone in the atmosphere. Using the internet to collect data students use their collected data to create a line graph for analysis. Students make mathematical...

Skin and the Effects of Ultraviolet Radiation
Though UV radiation can damage skin, it isn't all bad. The third installment in a six-part series allows the class to study the structure and function of skin. They learn about the different types of skin cancer and the SPF rating...
Curated OER
Air Quality Issues
Pupils study and chart the levels of the atmosphere. They determine volume and location of the whole in the ozone layer by problem solving and drawing Antarctica.
Curated OER
Ozone Tag
Students explain the role of stratospheric ozone and predict at least three ways in which depleted ozone would change her/his lifestyle. They then
describe the process by which chlorine or bromine compounds can break down ozone molecules.

Ozone Pollution: Smog Alert
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.
Curated OER
Ozone
Students locate the ozone layer of the atmosphere. They explain natural formation of ozone. They list chemicals that react with ozone. They explain how CFC's destroy ozone.
Curated OER
Tracking Ozone
Students track an ozone event in Groton, CT. They compare weather changes and the subsequent ozone levels. Also, they make comparisons and determinations about ozone levels.
Curated OER
Will There Be Ozone Tomorrow
Students collect and analyze real time data. They make comparisons and determinations about the status of ozone in their local area and predict the Ozone level for the next day
Curated OER
Linkages Between Surface Temperature And Tropospheric Ozone
High schoolers organize and analyze data regarding changes in tropospheric ozone and then hypothesize about the consequences of these changes.
Curated OER
Don't oZone Out
Students 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, students study environmental problems.
Curated OER
Ozone Pollution: Smog Alert
Learners explain ozone pollution and make them aware of how it is formed. They simulate the development of smog and infer how it occurs in nature.
Curated OER
Bean and Ozone Project
Students performed an experiment in which they grew beans in an ozone chamber and some in regular air in order to see if the ozone causes damage to the plants.
