Combining computational modeling with real-world data analysis.
Unit Overview
3. Spread of PM 2.5 particles
Task
1:
How do different kinds of smoke particles spread?
Create a model
Description
Students analyze data of the spread of different smoke particles and observe that PM2.5 particles travel farther than PM10 particles. They then investigate and model how and why PM2.5 particles spread further away than PM10 particles, and compare their model with data.
