Atmospheric Pollution
In this pathway, learners identify patterns and predict trends in atmospheric pollution using graphs and tables. They explore how data communicates environmental concepts, including types of air pollution, impacts on ecosystems and human health, changes over time, and the testing hypotheses about the causes and consequences of pollution and climate change.
