Observing Buffers In Lakes, Ponds And Streams
Young scholars observe the effects of limestone on the acidity of water. Some areas of the nation have a lot of limestone in lake bottoms and in soil, which helps neutralize the effects of acid rain. Students see this effect first hand.
Curated OER
Air Quality
Students determine potential sources of major air pollutants, explain how acid rain is generated and how it affects the environment, discuss global warming, and explore protective role of ozone and cause of ozone layer thinning. Lessons...
Curated OER
Acid Rain Simulation
Students collect data on causes of Acid Rain. In this science activity, students simulate the effects that produce acid rain, collect and analyze data from their samples. They relate science and statistics in this activity.
Curated OER
Soiled Again
Students propose and perform an experiment using the scientific method. The purpose of the experiment is to discern some earth materials or combinations of earth materials that best increases the pH of "acid rain". From the results of...
Curated OER
What is pH and Why is It Important?
Students investigate about acids, bases, and pH and relate this information to the problem of acid deposition. They use pH paper, students test common household substances to determine whether they are acidic, basic, or neutral. Pupils...
Curated OER
Photosynethsis....How do we know it's really happening? - Biology Teaching Thesis
Students think of one way to detect photosynthesis in plants besides those ways shown in class. They identify the reaction that occurs during photosynthesis. Students define the difference between an acid and a base. They identify acidic...
Curated OER
Polluted Rain
Pupils identify and analyze how acid rain can affect the environment. They then explain how air, water, and pollution interact and conduct pH tests to find acidity levels in water. Finally, students become "Pollution Watch Reporters" who...
Curated OER
Precipitation Monitoring
Students monitor the pH level of the precipitation in their local area for one month. In this hands-on activity, students use lab equipment to measure the pH levels and an online tool to track their findings. Ultimately, students seek to...
Curated OER
Soil Buffering
Students observe the pH change of an acid mixture poured over soil in a filter. Since the buffering capability of soils differs, you may want to do this experiment with several different soil types.
Curated OER
Determining The pH Of Common Substances
Students use a pH indicator to measure the pH of some fruits, common beverages, and borax. Students discover how to differentiate between an object that is an acid or a base.
Curated OER
Making A Natural pH Indicator
Students make their own pH indicator from red cabbage. Red cabbage contains a chemical that turns from its natural deep purple color to red in acids and blue in bases. Students boil the cabbage to get the pH indicator.
Curated OER
Measuring pH
Students perform an experiment which will illustrate how to measure the approximate pH of chemicals in water using a pH indicator. They understand that a pH indicator is a chemical that changes color when it comes in contact with acids...
Curated OER
Clouds and Rain
Students study how clouds form, what different types there are and what rain is. In this atmospheric lesson students make a cloud and create evaporation.
Curated OER
Acids, Bases and Salts
Students explore acids, bases and salts. They define acid and base. Students describe the characteristics and properties of acids and bases. They relate the processes of ionization and dissociation to the formation of acids and bases.
Curated OER
How Does it Affect Plants?
Students examine the effects of acid rain on plants. They observe the growth of seeds and the health of different plants for a month. They share their findings with the community.
Curated OER
Sowing Seeds of Service
Third graders use metric measuring for model and actual plan in designing a roof garden. They photograph the process, record results in a journal, and plant seedlings in small containers. Finally, 3rd graders complete an acid rain...
Curated OER
EarthTrek Gravestone Project
Students explore the effects of acid rain. In this acid rain activity, students investigate the effects of the weathering from acid rain in different places. Students visit cemetaries to collect data about the effects of acid rain on the...
Curated OER
Water Ph
Eighth graders study the concepts of acids, bases, salts and neutralization. They discuss steam adoption program, acid rain and other ecological implications. They use indicators to obtain pH values of household chemicals and to...
Chymist
How Do We Affect the Quality of Our Atmosphere
Explore the makeup of the earth's atmosphere. Using the set of specific experiments, pupils examine the main elements and compounds present in the atmosphere. Their study extends to investigate the effects of atmospheric pollution such...
Curated OER
Air Pollution
Students seek solutions to environmental problems. They discover how to conserve and protect natural resources. They examine the role of acid rain on plants and discover how to filter pollutants.
Curated OER
Chemical Reaction of Carbonate Rocks and Acids
Students complete an investigation into the chemical reaction that occurs between carbonate rocks and acids. Working in groups, students design and conduct their investigation. They create a data table detailing their results. Results...

Miller-Urey Experiment Amino Acids & The Origins of Life on Earth
Students study the Miller-Urey Experiment including its history and criticism. In this origins of life lesson plan students repeat this experiment to see how it works.
Curated OER
Technology and the Environment
Students construct a grow column as an analysis of technology and the environment. In this environment project lesson, students germinate seeds in recycled soda bottles and chart their data.
