With Air Aware eCards, students use the eCards website to research air pollutants and learn about their health and environmental impacts. Students then create an eCard about air quality with their own message and artwork, and send it to a friend, family member or decision maker.

Designed for Canadian students in grades 10 to 12, Air Aware eCards takes 3 to 6 class periods. The unit provides current information and data to answer these key questions:

•   What is air pollution?
•   What are the causes of air pollution?
•   What are its health and environmental impacts?
•   How do we communicate about air quality?
•   What role will air pollution play in our future?

See this new research unit at the eCards website. Choose AIR AWARE under the TOPICS menu. For air quality curriculum connections for grades 10 to 12, look under the ABOUT ECARDS menu.

This new eCards unit was made possible by Clean Air Champions. Visit their Air Aware website for more student activities. Air Aware is a national curriculum-linked program that aims to educate youth in grades 10 to 12 about the importance of adopting practices that enhance personal and environmental health.
