NGSS.HS-ESS3-1

NGSS.HS-LS2-6

NGSS.HS-LS2-7

Match the following:

• Tropospheric Ozone

• Excess exposure to humans causes rapid breathing, confusion, increased cardiac output, elevated blood pressure that can lead to suffocation

• Carbon Dioxide

• Binds to hemoglobin in the blood, reducing the ability of blood to carry oxygen

• Carbon Monoxide

• Impede growth and seed production, reduce functional leaf area and accelerated aging in plants

• Acid Rain

• Dissolves magnesium and calcium and releases aluminum in soil making it difficult for trees to grow

NGSS.HS-ESS3-4

NGSS.HS-ESS3-5

Match the following

• Greenhouse Effect

• Solar heat is trapped near Earth's surface by gases in the atmosphere

• Thermal Inversion

• Warmer temperatures due to an abundance of surfaces that absorb heat (aka: more pavement)

• Heat-Island Effect

• A warm layer on top of the colder layer of air keeps tall clouds from forming, prevents precipitation and traps air pollutants near the surface of the earth

• Albedo

• The fraction of sunlight that is reflected by a body or surface. Snow = high / asphalt = low.

NGSS.HS-ESS2-2

NGSS.HS-ESS2-4

NGSS.HS-ESS3-5

Match the following:

• NOx

• Higher levels in the air may occur when fertilizer is applied to farm fields.

• PM

• Higher in areas like construction sites, unpaved roads, smokestacks or fires

• VOCs

• Emissions are higher in areas where there are a lot of cars

• SO2

• Emissions are higher in places where we manufacture or use of everyday products and materials

• NH3

• Emissions tend to be located near large point sources such as coal-fired power plants or large industrial facilities

NGSS.HS-ESS3-4

Match the following:

• Photochemical Smog

• Northeast USA due to higher #s of people, industry and power plants

• Industrial Smog

• Cars. Ex: Los Angeles, USA

• Acid Rain

• Coal. Ex: Beijing, China
