AirWatch Website

Welcome to the 2002 Version of the Villa Air Watch team, you will find results to particle collector reports in the table of links below.

2002 AIR WATCH information. ~ AirWatch 2001 Report
Well, the particle collectors are currently completely up to scientific standard, we only need to start recording the data and that is where i come in, i have put together a few pages for data collection. I have redone the page and it is looking better. So enjoy the work. Information here may be beneficial to year 9 soc ed students doing Geography at the moment as they will be completing an in class essay about a subject of there choice and it just so happens that one of the possible subjects could be Air pollution...

The Particle collectors work by sticking a piece of sticky tape onto the back of a piece of paper (The paper has three boxes drawn onto it, and inside these boxes you cut a hole (The sticky tape is put over the whole) The stick tape then collects particles that are in the air. We then use microscopes to see what particles have been collected. The Particle collectors are left out for 3-7 days before we analyse them.

The grade 9 students working on the project are doing extremely well and hope that the project will be fully operational by the end of this term (perhaps the beginning of next term due to exams)

We also currently have a year 8 group working on the project as well. We are yet to get a page up for or from them.

Due to the fact that we havent really started with the vegie garden this year, or as of yet, we don't really have anything to say here. We will certainly update this section if and when we start the veggie garden.
