Air Quality and Transportation

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Second graders study about air pollution and the effects it has on our Earth. Students tally cars on a sheet that has been categorized as follows: One person in car, two persons in car, or three or more persons in car. Students go to the front of the school in the morning or afternoon when there is the most traffic and tally the cars for five minutes. Students return to the classroom and discuss their observations.
