I notice a lot of people at school that have respiratory problems such as asthma. I know that these people are very sensitive to the air. Seeing them having problems breathing during school made me wonder, how healthy the air around my school is? For my project, I tracked the PM2.5 Air Quality Index or AQI values using a PurpleAir Monitor to answer the following questions: How healthy is the air quality at my school? How does the air quality at my school change by time of day and weather?
Congratulations on your thoughtful and well-executed project! You showed great initiative by collaborating with experts and your school community to collect real-world data over many weeks. Your clear explanations of particulate matter and air quality, combined with careful data collection and analysis, demonstrate strong scientific skills. It’s inspiring to see how your work contributes to citizen science and raises awareness about air quality in your school. Keep up the fantastic work and continue exploring ways to make your community healthier!
This is a highly impressive project that combines scientific rigor with community engagement. Your dedication to collecting and analyzing data over time, along with your clear communication, makes your work stand out. Keep up the excellent effort and continue exploring ways to improve air quality awareness!
