Air Pollution and Air Quality Index by Std. XII

-

 

St. Mary’s School, Dwarka undertook an initiative to sensitize the students of std. XII about ‘Air Pollution and Air Quality Index’ and spread awareness about the same.

A detailed PowerPoint Presentation was shown and discussed in the first two weeks of May to throw light on ‘Air Pollution- Causes and Effects’. It was an interactive session in which the teachers along with the learners were able to share their viewpoints and learn about new things on the given topic.

The third and the fourth week of May involved a brainstorming session on ‘Air Pollution and Air Quality Index’ followed by collection of data on A.Q.I. The students were divided into groups of six to research on A.Q.I of six different places of Delhi at the given times.

The places allotted to the six groups included Vikas Puri, Dwarka, Dhaula Kaun, Connaught Place, Patparganj and Mayapuri. The timings were 9:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m., 3:00 p.m., 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. Students collected the data on Mondays and Thursdays of the last two weeks of May and the first two weeks of the month of June. This was done to analyze how A.Q.I differs at different places and times.

The data gathered was represented graphically and analyzed by the students. They also wrote a brief analytical paragraph on it. Students enjoyed themselves thoroughly in this activity as they not only learnt about new things but also collaborated to share and discuss their ideas. A group discussion session was conducted on the aforementioned topic. The participants came up with some interesting and practical solutions to tackle the problem of air pollution. They understood how it is a menace to all life forms on earth and small steps on their parts too can contribute in curbing it.

It provided a deep insight into how everything that humans do is inter-connected and that their actions have serious repercussions on all life forms. It is a high time that we become conscious of our activities.

Students of std. XII look forward to many more such endeavors.
