Ozone Action! Education Program

The Ozone Action! Education Program has four goals: to help students understand why they need to be concerned about ozone levels; to teach students about good ozone (in the upper atmosphere) and bad ozone (in the lower atmosphere); to help students understand how their actions may be adding to the ozone problem; and to show them how they can contribute to the solution. Full education packets are available to anyone who wishes. These packets are great supplements to Earth Day studies or events in conjunction with Clean Air Month (May). These packets are available in grade levels: K-5, 6-8, and 9-12.
