Portable air-quality monitoring for real-world environmental investigations
Measure what’s in your air—anywhere. PocketLab Air is an all-in-one, portable science lab designed for investigating climate change and air pollution in real environments. Students can simultaneously measure carbon dioxide, ozone, particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, PM10), temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and light, then view and analyze results wirelessly on a phone, tablet, or computer. Powerful enough for advanced investigations yet simple enough for elementary learners, PocketLab Air connects classroom science to the world students live in.
Why Teachers Love the PocketLab Air
- True all-in-one air quality lab: Measure CO₂, ozone, particulates, and environmental conditions at the same time—no swapping probes.
- Field-ready and student-friendly: Small, rugged, and portable; simple enough for elementary students, robust enough for advanced projects.
- Real-time + stored data: Stream data live via Bluetooth 4.0 (up to ~250 ft line of sight) or store up to 30,000 data points for later analysis.
- Map your community: Pair with phone GPS to generate air-quality maps of neighborhoods, school grounds, or field sites.

What You Can Teach with PocketLab Air
Ideal for upper elementary through high school, with extensions into introductory college and STEM programs:
- Climate Change: Track CO₂ trends and relate local measurements to global patterns.
- Air Pollution & Health: Compare particulate levels (PM1, PM2.5, PM10) across locations and times.
- Earth & Environmental Science: Study temperature, humidity, pressure, and light in real environments.
- Human Impact & Sustainability: Investigate how traffic, weather, and land use affect air quality.
- Data Literacy & Modeling: Collect large datasets, graph trends, compare sites, and draw evidence-based conclusions.
- Field Science & Engineering (Extensions): Mount on weather balloons or drones to explore vertical profiles and design challenges.
Designed for Elementary & Middle School Learning
Includes access to a free digital Lab Notebook to organize data and access a built-in library of lesson plans. Special curricula available by subscription.
PocketLab Air is built to scale naturally for younger learners, making it an excellent tool for upper elementary and middle school classrooms where curiosity, observation, and real-world connections matter most.
- Elementary (Grades 4–5): Students use PocketLab Air to observe and compare air quality around the school, playground, or neighborhood. Activities focus on patterns and cause-and-effect—such as how traffic, weather, or indoor vs. outdoor spaces affect air conditions—using simple tables, drawings, and bar graphs.
- Middle School (Grades 6–8): Students collect larger datasets and begin analyzing trends over time and location. Mapping pollution data with GPS supports investigations into human impact, climate change, and environmental health, while graphing tools help students practice data literacy and evidence-based reasoning.
Because PocketLab Air is intuitive, portable, and visual, younger students can engage in authentic environmental science without being overwhelmed—building confidence now that supports more advanced analysis later.
