Positives

• This well-outlined article provides findings from recent scientific studies and highlights the health risks from ozone.
• It also differentiates ozone pollution (i.e., smog) from the ozone layer, which is beneficial for all life on Earth.

Additional Prerequisites

• This resource is easy to follow and self-explanatory.

Differentiation

• This resource could provide cross-curricular connections to social studies, English, and history courses that address social injustice, particularly related to proximity to sources of pollution.
• Biology classes could focus on the impacts of pollutants on cell systems and individual cells, such as if they affect the cell membrane, enzyme activity, or damage DNA.
• Environmental science classes could discuss the effects of ozone pollution on other plant and animal communities and think about how that may affect entire ecosystems.
