Description
The Background Knowledge modules provide an introduction to air quality, environmental justice, particle pollution, and air sensors, preparing students for the LEGO Air Quality Sensor module, where they build a sensor to understand how particulate pollution is measured. This educational tool models real-world air quality technology and emphasizes the importance of monitoring air to promote healthier communities.
