Links to Standards:
   National Science Education Standards
   CA Standards
   PA Standards
   NJ Standards  "Science should be taught at all levels with awareness of its connection to other subjects and the needs of society. While these standards do not suggest a specific curriculum design or sequence of courses, they assume that the relationship of the various disciplines of science to each other, and of science to the overall learning experience, will be strongly emphasized. The standards also reflect the needs of the students and teachers of New Jersey; indeed, incorporating New Jersey's unique natural resources in the teaching of science should be a primary goal of school districts as they move towards implementation."

The entire curriculum was originally designed for grade levels 8-10. All middle and high school teachers are welcome to participate. 
Although many educators incorporate the activities and knowledge / content into their existing curriculum, the Clean Air Challenge project has been used as a 2-3 week curriculum.
