by [node:author:field_name_first] [node:author:field_name_last]
Over the course of three class sessions, spanning 90 minutes each, students will engage in an immersive project focusing on the outdoor air quality prevalent in four states situated in the southwestern region of the United States. Throughout this project, they will delve into a comparative analysis of air quality metrics, examining how various factors contribute to the differences observed.
Emphasizing the significance of air quality on both human health and the broader environment, students will explore its implications through discussions and research. To aid in their exploration, students will become acquainted with credible online resources, including those provided by governmental agencies, environmental advocacy groups, and esteemed scientific institutions. By leveraging these resources, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the complexities surrounding air quality and its multifaceted impacts.
