A new lesson is available to complement Sam Kean’s Caesar’s Last Breath: Decoding the Secrets of the Air Around Us, a 2018 finalist for the AAAS/Subaru SB&F Prize for Excellence in Science Books in the Young Adult category.

The lesson is intended for use in grades 9-12 and includes corresponding concepts for the Common Core State Standards and the Next Generation Science Standards. The lesson, which will help students develop a deeper understanding of the nature of science and technology advancements, and the connections between science and society, through an exploration of the substances that make up the air we breathe, is now available at Science NetLinks.
