Student Project Topics

(Further topics will be developed to specifically deal with researching the air motoring data available on the site)

  • Draw a picture, make a poster or design a web page about ways you can help improve the air environment. This can be done individually or in groups.
  • How do you think people travelled in the 1800s, before the invention of the car? What pollution problems did those ways of travel have? Create a poster (or story board) to explain your ideas and research. What suggestions for travel do you have in the next 50 years?
  • Conduct an observational study. Are there certain times of day when there are more cars on the road? What do you think this means for our air environment? What do you recommend should be done about this? Report on your findings.
  • Does your local council have an environmental officer? Find out who they are and conduct an interview with them to discover what they think about air pollution
  • Investigate what is good or bad about burning wood at home for cooking or heating? What alternatives are there?
  • Is there such a thing as a non polluting car? Find out about electric cars. Do these pollute the air at all?
