K-12 Ventilation Lesson Plans

The K-12 Ventilation Lesson Plans have lessons and activities that can be applied in classroom settings and as part of STEM activities associated with ventilation. Each lesson includes Goals, Expected Outcomes, Recommended grade levels, and Content that can be used and or adapted. This is a result of our COVID-19 research from a systems perspective. It was developed to reintroduce this generation to the importance of ventilation and its ability to reduce sickness from airborne contagions. Contact . Download (K-12-Lesson-Plans).

SYSVE-101 Fresh Air

This lesson will introduce the students to air. They will learn that we breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide while plants use our carbon dioxide and release oxygen. We use oxygen to live and plants use carbon dioxide to live. They will learn that air consists of other gasses, dust, plant pollen and micro organisms some of which can make us sick. They will learn about sources of fresh air so that we stay healthy. Grades 1-3. Duration: 1hr/day for 3 days, total 3 hrs.

SYSVE-102 Anemometers

This lesson will introduce the students to anemometers. The students will learn about instruments that measure ventilation rates with a focus on anemometers. They will learn how to use anemometers and the information that they provide. They will measure wind speeds using anemometers and they will be shown how they can use anemometers to measure ventilation levels in a room. Grades 4-7. Duration: 1hr/day for 3 days, total 3 hrs.

SYSVE-103 Fresh Air Schools

This lesson will introduce the students to fresh air schools from the 1900s. The students will learn about the fresh air school movement from the early 1900s and how these schools helped children with tuberculosis. The students will become aware of the impact of fresh air schools on the introduction of forced air heating and cooling to lower the spread of indoor airborne infections. They will become aware of different school architectures and the ventilation challenges of new schools and the desire to reduce carbon foot prints. Grades 4-5, 6-12. Duration: 1hr/day for 3 days, total 3 hrs.

SYSVE-104 Natural Ventilation

This lesson will introduce the students to natural ventilation. The students will learn how natural ventilation works and where it is best applied. They will be exposed to different building architectures that use natural ventilation. The students will learn what to expect in terms of Air Changes Per Hour (ACH) from natural ventilation and how it can be measured. Grades 6-8, 9-12. Duration: 1hr/day for 3 days total 3 hrs.

SYSVE-105 Measuring Mechanical Ventilation Rates

This lesson will introduce the students to mechanical ventilation. The students will learn how mechanical ventilation works. They will be exposed to different mechanical ventilation vents and grills and different mechanical ventilation approaches. The students will learn what to expect in terms of Air Changes Per Hour (ACH) from mechanical ventilation and how it can be measured. Grades 4-5, 6-8, 9-12. Duration: 1hr/day for 3 days total 3 hrs.

SYSVE-106 Capturing School Classroom ventilation data

This lesson will introduce the students to mechanical ventilation. The students will learn how mechanical ventilation works. They will be exposed to different mechanical ventilation vents and grills and different mechanical ventilation approaches. The students will learn what to expect in terms of Air Changes Per Hour (ACH) from mechanical ventilation and how it can be measured. The students will work in teams to produce a final report that documents ventilation performance. Grades 9-12. Duration: 1hr/day for 3 days total 3 hrs.

SYSVE-107 Ventilation Approaches and Sustainability

This lesson will introduce the students to ventilation approaches and their impacts on sustainability. The students will learn the various energy demands from various ventilation approaches. Students will be exposed to the concept of internal and external sustainability. The students will engage in a team activity to discuss what they think should happen with ventilation in this century. Grades 9-12. Duration: 1hr/day for 3 days total 3 hrs. Prerequisite: SYSVE-105 or SYSVE-106
