How to Measure Carbon Dioxide

The video tutorial, led by Ashlyn Cousteau and her friends from Fort Garrison Elementary School, explores the impact of gases on climate change, focusing on carbon dioxide. The team demonstrates how to measure CO2 levels using a sensor, explaining the concept of parts per million (PPM). They conduct an experiment to observe CO2 levels from a car, highlighting the significant increase in emissions. The tutorial concludes with a summary and thanks from Ashlyn.

What is the main focus of the introduction by Ashlyn Cousteau?

• The benefits of renewable energy

• The process of photosynthesis

• The impact of carbon dioxide on climate change

• The history of Fort Garrison Elementary School

What does PPM stand for in the context of measuring gases?

• Parts per million

• Pounds per meter

• Particles per molecule

• Pressure per minute

How does blowing on the sensor affect the CO2 measurement?

• It decreases the CO2 level

• It resets the CO2 level

• It increases the CO2 level

• It has no effect on the CO2 level

What was the observed CO2 level when the car was turned on?

• Around 1,000 PPM

• Around 200,000 to 300,000 PPM

• Around 500,000 PPM

• Around 845 PPM

Why is it important to understand CO2 measurements?

• To improve car performance

• To reduce noise pollution

• To enhance fuel efficiency

• To address climate change and environmental impact
