O Senhor Sufoco Foi Passear
Mr. Stuffy loves still, stale air — but let fresh air in and off he goes! About ventilated rooms, plus the golden rule: windows are for adults to open.
📚 Teaching notes — themes, curriculum and activities
IAQ theme: Effects of CO₂ build-up in closed rooms (fatigue, loss of focus); window safety.
Curriculum connections: Chemistry, Biology, Safety and Education.

Por que não podemos ver o ar?
Oxigenius Answers: why can't we see the air? Molecules explained in one minute (Episode 1).
📚 Teaching notes — themes, curriculum and activities
IAQ theme: Why air is invisible — light, reflection and molecular size. Air molecules (N₂, O₂, CO₂) are too small to reflect enough light to form an image in the eye. Invisible, yet present all the time, and its quality directly affects health.
