    Student Objectives


    The students will 
    • define ozone.
    • identify the different factors which affect ozone.
    • distinguish the differences between good and bad ozone.
    • identify weather changes which create smog.
    • research their local area and use the information to make others aware of the air quality problem.
    • use a model to analyze data and determine the percent reductions on volatile organic compound and nitrogen oxides.
    • understand how a model generates information.
    • predict outcomes from a set of data to make them realize their contribution to the air.
    • recommend improvements for the ozone problem in Houston.
