    This document provides instructions for an activity where students will analyze real ozone data to learn about seasonal ozone variations over Antarctica. Students will work in groups to explore ozone hole data from 2013 and answer questions about the months with highest and lowest ozone levels over Antarctica and how long the ozone hole typically lasts. They will also analyze recent total ozone images to estimate the range of ozone levels over Antarctica and the rest of the map. The goal is for students to use real ozone data to understand the factors that cause ozone depletion in the stratosphere over Antarctica each spring.
