Give context to air pollution, materials and nanochemistry

Many of the UN’s sustainable development goals are relevant to chemistry teaching for the age ranges 14–16 and 16–18. Goal 11: make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable, can easily fit into your lessons on air pollution, materials and nanochemistry. This article gives ideas for relevant context and suggests resources and activities to include the goal within your teaching. Download the accompanying resource for an activity where learners access and evaluate real-time data about atmospheric pollutants, suitable for age range 14–16 with extension questions for 16–18.
