Introduction to Ozone Reading Activity

Simple, but suitable, this lesson gives mini-meteorologists a glimpse at ozone in the atmosphere. By reading an article, they find that ozone in the stratosphere is vital to life, but ozone in the troposphere is problematic. A reading comprehension worksheet follows the reading. A memorable addition to this lesson would be to show a NASA animation of the ozone change over time.
