Brock Spencer, ChemLinks Coalition, Beloit College


The goal of this introductory college level exercise is to get students to characterize the phenomenon of the ozone hole on their own. This is an inquiry-based activity designed to spark student interest, curiosity, and a desire to understand the causes of this atmospheric problem. A multitude of rich data sets are accessible to students. There are several sections, each linked with data sets and questions. This project is part of the ChemConnections series published by Wiley and Sons.
