PocketLab Air
PocketLab Air is a wireless sensor that sends data to the PocketLab App for exploring the world and investigating air quality in your community. We believe anyone can be a scientist, and we believe science should be fun and engaging. We've designed PocketLab Air to be capable enough for climate and air quality researchers but simple enough for a 4th grade student learning about Earth science.
PocketLab Air Sensor Functions
All the sensor functions are integrated into a small, rugged, and portable sensor device that can be used to go out and investigate air pollution and climate. You can stream data from all of the sensors simultaneously to the PocketLab app and visualize the data in real-time.

Lesson Materials
Experienced STEM educators, scientists, and educational researchers have developed the library of PocketLab activities that emphasize the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) from 4th grade through high school. University professors and researchers have also developed experiments that dive deep into environmental science and citizen science. You can find all of the lessons on the PocketLab Air Community Site.
