The indoor or “built” environment is as fascinating and
complex as the outdoor environment and since we spend 90% of our day
indoors, the quality of the air indoors becomes crucial to our health
and productivity. Are you looking for creative ways to teach students
about this important topic? Discover how you can promote awareness
around indoor air quality (IAQ) and teach your curriculum standards at
the same time by checking out these hands-on, interactive lesson plans.
Through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) NEA HIN has created a series of K-12 lesson plans that
supplement the U.S. EPA’s IAQ Tools for Schools program and
kit. All of the lesson plans are tied to standards and can be easily
integrated with your school district’s curriculum. Many of the lessons
can be adapted to any grade level and can be used as independent
activities or put together to build an IAQ unit.
