Air Quality competition
About this activity
Suitable for primary and secondary school pupils. Supports the Geography and Art and Design National Curriculum.
Run an air quality competition to raise awareness of ways we can all help reduce air pollution. Ask pupils to put forward their ideas for how the school community can improve air quality and produce a top-tips leaflet or poster to showcase their ideas. Share the winning entry with the rest of the school to promote their ideas and encourage your school community to take action.
Use the cleaner air toolkit and top tips sheet to help introduce the competition in class or during an assembly.
