PBL PROJECT!
What weather and climate factors impact air quality and how does air quality impact humans?
Do #/1-4 first. Try to think about how these activities could help you to answer your research question. Try to also figure out how the scientific data impacts your research topic

3. NOAA – Weather/Climate Data
4. Simple Climate Model
5. Urban Observatory (Climatologists/geographers/aq specialists)
6. Change Matters – (Climatologists/Cartographers)

Weather/Climate Research Project Ideas:
| slideshow, informational handout, letter, brochure, blog, website, field guide, newscast, play (on video), sales pitch for your product, drawing/painting, collage, photo essay, video, animation, computer program/app, digital story, scientific instrument, structure, blueprint, timeline, business plan, your choice. Example: Team 4 demonstrates how a house can be efficiently insulated in two different climate locations (Florida and Colorado). Their presentation includes a house model with a real estate brochure and website with graphs to show how a home uses energy in Florida vs Colorado. They dress as real estate agents to try to get their houses sold in both climate locations.Example: Team 6 demonstrates how snow can have different amounts of humidity based on current weather and the climate in which it is found. They demonstrate the ski rates of two locations in North America, while discussing the average temperature, humidity, pressure, etc. They are dressed as ski enthusiasts who want “fresh powder”! |
