This article describes a project in which eighth graders at East Side Middle School in New York City used an interactive multimedia program called "Pollution Solution" in a science unit on environmental pollution. Students assumed the role of environmental consultants working at fictional corporations which were being investigated for violation of the Clean Air Act. Students used laptop computers to set up their virtual offices, from which they researched pollution issues and collaborated on solutions. This exercise in problem-based learning allowed students to become personally involved in dealing with the effects that humans are having on the environment. A project timeline is included.
