This hand-held portable device measures PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 and is CLEAR! This clear casing allows students to see the components of the sensor itself. This facilitates discussions of engineering and electronics and takes some of the “mystery” out of air measurements. The benefits of this sensor are that it:
– Measures PM1, PM2.5, PM10 once per second
– Allows students to investigate the air in their own community or school
– Seamlessly integrates with app for smartphones
– Has clear casing allows students to see all components
– Naturally encourages curiosity and discussions of engineering and electronics
Additionally, all map data is publicly available on maps.kidsmakingsense.org
