“STOP IDLING” Lesson

Student Objective: Students will collect delay and CO concentration of the idling buses at the school bus dock.

ApplicationCareers

Societal Impact

CO Monitor

Camera Crew, stopwatch, counters

Direction of wind

Buses

Data Collection and Methods

Assessments

1.Delay and CO concentrations Impact2.CONTRAST3.LIST and EXPLAIN4.PREDICT patterns5.EVALUATE and SUMMARIZE

Modifications:actual intersection, full scale analysis,

geometric map of turning movements, software

Research Goal:

How do the different weather patterns affect our environment?

Student Objectives:

1.Explore friction and weather conditions

2.Analyze systems and predict outcomes
