Air Quality Class
All classes throughout the year will review websites from NOAA National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration weather and climate information, USGS Earthquakes Map, USGS Volcano Map, sea
surface temperature, and more on a daily basis.
All students will have chores as to the running of the greenhouse and the growing of plants and raising
aquatic organisms.
All students will be involved in educating the public in various forms – district tv messages, preparing the
site or materials for a the Little People visits.
