The goal of this free workshop is to make teachers familiar with the properties of air, what air pollution
is, how each of us contributes to air pollution, and the things we can do to prevent it. We try to reach this
goal through a combination of hands-on activities, presentation materials, videos and games. Each teacher
will leave the workshop with a notebook and a video, plus lots of great ideas. A pre-workshop assignment
will be required by each attendee in order to receive: One Continuing Education Unit (C.E.U.) and Criteria I
Credit for the North Carolina Environmental Education Certificate. The assignment materials will be mailed to
each person in advance. You will be required to watch a 15-minute video on ozone and read a number of related
documents. This two-hour assignment will help you better understand the color codes in the Air Quality Index
and the heath message associated with ozone forecasting. For more information about Air Quality Workshops for
