Advocacy: The Indoor Air Pollution Chase

Hey Group #1!

I did not create an online learning activity however I found one that fit perfectly with my topic, so here it goes...

Title: Indoor Air Pollution Chase
Purpose: This activity is to educate about the indoor air pollution. This activity should help participants to understand where indoor allergens are occurring in their homes and what they can do about it. Hope to this activity influences the problem that indoor air pollution is causing to help persuade participants to be in favor of the bill I chose.
Background/Reasoning: Check out these three sites to learn more about Indoor Air Pollution and why it is a problem.

Activity: This is the Indoor Air Pollution Chase. Here's the challenge for you: see if you can find things that can affect indoor air quality at home.

First you go to this website: http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ewh-semt/air/in/games-jeux/chasse-air-chase-eng.php

You should see a house! (That is where this activity takes place.) Look around the house, and use your mouse to check out each room. Click on all the objects to find out if they affect indoor air quality.

Side note: Some objects are not necessarily harmful, but you'll still get useful information by clicking on them! Your goal is to find all the harmful things in the house. If you want to know how many are left to find, check your "score", which is shown below the game window.

Make sure 1)to find all allergens for each room. Once you have gone through all the rooms of the house 2) identify which allergen surprised you the most or list the allergen that you are most likely to be affected by. Also, 3) state the solution purposed for the problem your focusing on. Good luck!

Happy hunting! Let me know if you have any questions!
