In a series of weekly lessons delivered by Janet Read and Daniel Fitton from UCLAN, they learned about data science in preparation for the task ahead.
A school spokesman said: "Pupils aimed to measure the air quality around Clitheroe to discover how it changes depending on the area, weather, date and time.

"The environmentally-savvy pupils were delighted to be invited to take part in COP26, joining the Royal Society’s stall in the Green Zone to present their project to attendees at this important environmental summit.
"Pupils were also able to answer questions from Jo Cox from the Royal Society and the general public about their project, adding their voices to the cause of protecting our planet for future generations."
