Description
What It Is:
This is an activity sheet focusing on Pennsylvania and National Air Quality Standards. It presents a table listing pollutants (Carbon Monoxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, Ozone, Sulfur Oxides) and their corresponding standards in ppm (parts per million). Students are then asked to calculate what part of each air particle can be made up of each pollutant, given the initial standard and a new standard in scientific notation (ppm). The worksheet provides space for calculations.
Grade Level Suitability:
This worksheet is suitable for grades 7-9. It requires students to understand air quality standards, work with parts per million, convert between decimals and scientific notation, and perform basic calculations. The concept of pollutants and air quality is also appropriate for this age group.
Why Use It:
This worksheet helps students understand the concept of air pollution and the standards used to measure it. It reinforces skills in converting between decimals and scientific notation. It also promotes critical thinking by asking students to calculate the part of each air particle made up of pollutants.
How to Use It:
Students should first read the information about 'ppm' (parts per million). They should then use the given information to calculate the new standard for each pollutant. They can use the provided calculation space to show their work. Students should fill in the missing values in the second table, showing the result in ppm.
Target Users:
This worksheet is designed for middle school students studying environmental science, chemistry, or general science. It is also suitable for students who need practice with scientific notation and unit conversions.
