Students conduct a simple experiment to model and explore the harmful effects of acid rain (vinegar) on living (green leaf and eggshell) and non-living (paper clip) objects. They observe and describe some of the harmful effects of acid rain on living and non-living items, explain why engineers are concerned about acid rain and discuss how engineers are working to prevent pollution and acid rain.

Students develop an environmental case study for presentation and understand how a case study is used as an analysis tool. The goal of this activity is to show students how techniques of persuasion (including background, supporting evidence, storytelling and the call to action) are used to develop an argument for or against a topic. The example students will be looking at is the developing acid rain problem in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State. Full Review »

Students explain why rain forests have great biodiversity, and list each layer of a rain forest and tell an organism that lives in each. They identify the cause of acid rain and its affect on a rain forest. Students hypothesize the effects of water and sulfuric acid on a leaf and identify the steps of the scientific method.

Students observe the effects of acid rain on plants. They simulate an experiment using vinegar or lemon water. They observe the impact of acids on plants and recognize how acid rain can affect the environment. They examine their plants every day and write down what they look like-what color they are, if their leaves are dropping, whether they look healthy. Full Review »
