Assessing Air Quality: An integrated curriculum teaches high school science students about indoor air quality

The Science Teacher – September 2000

The Science and Math Investigative Learning Experiences (SMILE) Program, a pre-college program at Oregon State University, developed an educational framework that enables teachers and students to adopt an integrated science format for studying local environmental health issues. In this article, the students work on a challenging problem of determining whether a new middle school has an air quality problem. These kinds of integrated science projects help improve students' critical thinking and decision-making skills.
