Year 7 geographers investigate air pollution levels on the school site

A group of Year 7 geography students carried out some fieldwork around site which linked their learning in geography to science. They put out slides to capture the air samples and then a week later they collected them in and analysed them under the microscopes to see how clean the air was. Students were fascinated with the detail that could be seen and the amount of particulates which were found on the slides. They were also slightly disturbed by the amount of particles which are floating in our air.
