This professional learning program, Citizen Science in NY School Communities, incorporates NGSS and project-based learning into existing curriculum for middle school science teachers.  This program engages students (grades 5-8) as environmental health researchers to collect, analyze and compare air quality data. Using this data, students will identify sources of air pollution, connect them to human behavior and develop prevention and remediation plans for their communities.
