Getting Started

Hey Students,

Here are a couple of videos about one project that I found interesting.  It does not go into depth about the actual data collected but it is a place to start.  I encourage you to watch these videos, but find your own topic to research - there are a lot of other options.

Assignment: Air Quality Initiatives: How To Protect The Ozone.

Description:
An ozone is a form of oxygen. It can be found in the atmosphere especially after a thunderstorm. It can absorb ultraviolet rays as well as protect us from it, it can cause skin cancers, and hurt us in harmful conditions. The ultraviolet ray protecting us so it does not reach the surface of the earth. The ozone has harmful effects on animals.

What are they doing?
You can help protect the ozone layer by:


  • Checking the frezeer and car air-conditioning. If they do not function properly, have them repaired because they may have leaks.







  • Using less heating and air conditioning







  • Uses Alternative types of transportation (walking, biking, etc. )







  • Reframe from using methyl bromide







  • Recycling






    • Why?
    They are doing this because they don't want us humans to be getting skin cancer, cataracts, and weakened immune systems, by using ultraviolet rays to protect the earth that we live on.

    MY OPINION:
    I think that it is really good that we have UV rays to protect us, but sometimes it to much because you can't even go for a simple jog outside without damaging your skin somehow. It also limits us, for example if you have sentive skin, or can easily burn, you would constantly have to apply sunscreen on yourself, before you  outside for any occasion.

      Yes I agree it is hard to do things when we are not protected by the ozone layer. We have to protect ourselves. All of those initiatives would are easy and they work so it is great.
