Air quality resources
If you are looking to share the concerns about air pollution with pupils, here are lots of ideas on how to keep the air around your school clean.
The Clean Air Project: With tailored, age-appropriate sessions, the Clean Air Project educates pupils (Infant to Secondary) about Air Quality and Pollution. Your young scientists help to investigate the Air Quality on commonly used walking/cycling routes ready to present their findings to the school.
Your pupils will go on to create a mini campaign, passing on the knowledge they have gained. They will use their creativity to promote a clean air message of their choosing to the school community. This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference for the whole school!
If your school would be interested in taking part please contact, amy.hartnell2@hants.gov.uk.
Clean Air Day: Each June, KS2 and KS3 schools are invited to register and receive resources to help promote and celebrate the steps we can all take to create cleaner air in Hampshire.
Air Quality Story Books: Click on these links to download our new story books focused on the air quality benefits of travelling actively to school. The KS1 book, A Wild Walk to School, focuses on how active travel enables time on the school run to be spent looking at nature during your journey whilst the KS2 book, A Right Royal Adventure!, focuses on the history of air quality and how we can influence the future.
For some useful resources and fun ideas of how to get your pupils thinking about air quality why not download one of these activities that you could even use as part of a clean air picnic in the local playing field or on your school grounds.
