Comment on this resource
In this project, students pretend they have been hired as an environmental consulting firm to present the case for or against the closing of (fictitious) downtown Ramford to vehicular traffic in an upcoming debate. Student arguments will focus on: the extent of the potential ozone/air quality problem in the City of Ramford; the possible routes and effects of exposure to ozone for children and adults in the City; the risks of exposure to ozone for humans and other animals; strategies for reduction of exposure to ozone including cost (short and long term); and the available technologies for remediation and strategies for education and reduction of exposure. Students will form field, laboratory, economic, community/risk and solutions/technology investigative teams to complete their cases.
