Positives

• Students do a lot of collaborative thinking in this lesson, helping them develop their ideas and questions.
• The option for a final project is very open-ended, making it adaptable for students of all learning styles and needs.

Additional Prerequisites

• The CaPMSE Storyline link has been deleted.
• Some of the activities require the use of student devices. Teachers can achieve some of these activities with sticky notes or journals if students do not have devices.
• The link for "what pollution is" on Day 2 is broken.

Differentiation

• After discussing how air pollution impacts communities differently, teachers can segue into the topic of environmental racism and practices like redlining.
• Teachers can make more math connections by generating specific questions for students to answer about the graphs and demonstrate their graph analysis skills.
• In health class, students can research the impacts of air pollution on children's health and create infographics to demonstrate their learning.
