About
In this lesson, students conduct a personal air eco-audit to identify sources of pollutants in their homes. After a thorough at-home investigation, students then brainstorm ways they can improve the air quality in their home. They are encouraged to work with members of their household to complete this eco-audit, if possible, and to engage their support in improving indoor air quality. They are also given time with classmates to share ideas and brainstorm, making this a fun and fruitful communal activity.
