Using the THINK app (free for iPad and 10" Android tablets), students will explore how progress is shaped through a common and systematic approach that follows a five-step process of Seeing, Mapping, Understanding, Believing and Acting (SMUBA). Your students will explore the process of innovation and participate in as many as three units, featuring hands-on lessons that will to help them become innovators in their own right and to take actions that can help them become forward-thinking citizens of the world. |

For students who are physically challenged, experiential learning may be difficult as there are not enough products commercially available that are adapted to their learning needs. The apparatus in this experiment have been specially customised to their level of motor skills. These will enhance the learning experience of the students as they can grasp scientific concepts more easily through hands-on experiential learning, having fun in the process. |

In this lesson, students will use a particulate air pollution model to observe phenomena. They will then plan and carryout a field investigation to observe particulate matter pollution around their school, and design a method to measure air quality and propose ways to improve air quality. They will answer the driving question: How can we accurately assess air quality, in order to design solutions to improve the quality of the air we breathe?
