My Students

My students have been working really hard throughout the coronavirus pandemic. Even though our district is very small and rural, that has not stopped learning.

My students enjoy learning through hands-on projects.

They really like to work with their classmates on projects.

My Project

STEM projects help students use information gained in the classroom to relate to real-world problems. For the past two years, schools have dealt with COVID-19 issues to try to keep students in the classroom. This project will help students to understand how COVID-19 is spread easily and teach them how to mitigate some of the issues with spreading the germs.

COVID-19 is largely spread by respiratory particles in the air.

Large droplets drop to the ground quickly but smaller particles (“aerosols”, roughly 0.3 to 3 micrometers) can stay in the air for hours. Fortunately, there is a low-cost method to remove these droplets using a simple box fan and filter. The goal is to get as much air through the filter as possible to increase your clean Air Changes per Hour (ACH).

CleanARAir has shared lessons to build your own DIY Air Filters for the Classroom. We will use published/shared lesson plans to explore many topics including airflow with the anemometer, conservation of mass, and measure particle counts with the air quality meter.
