Clean Air Superheroes (KS2)

This KS2 activity explores why clean air is important, the sources of air pollution and the actions we can all take to protect ourselves from the health harms of air pollution. Students will design their own clean air superheroes and find out how their superheroes can help them take positive actions towards a cleaner air future. They will also have the option to create an action plan for their superhero to start making some of the changes they want to see! This resource has been created in partnership with the Met Office.
