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.

Students use real-time weather maps to determine the likelihood of acid rainfall in a region. Students apply their understanding of interaction between weather systems, land and air pollution, to address acid rain and the effects on human health.

- 3rd Grade
Students explore the concept of acid rain and its effects on ecosystems. They are placed in groups and using a graphic organizer they brainstorm their ideas about what would happen to the ecosystems living within these environments if they were polluted by acid rain.

- 10th - 12th Grade
Students understand the dynamics of acid rain and its impact on the living and non-living environment. They hypothesize how acid rain affects water pH levels in two lake systems with differing watershed features.

- 6th - 8th Grade
Students identify the causes and effects of acid rain. Using the internet, they research pollution sources in their local area and by collecting rain samples and testing the pH. In groups, they develop their own plan urging local industries to use better technologies to help reduce acid rain. They reflect on what worked and what did not.
