Demonstrate to your middle school science learners how chalk breaks down in a weak acid. Discuss what affects acidic rain might have on ecosystems. Lab groups then choose one of two questions: "How does acid precipitation affect an...

Students create models of the earth's atmosphere to explore how gases that are dissolved in water can eventually create acid rain. After conducting a series of experiments within their models of the earth's atmosphere, students analyze...

Learners perform experiments to determine how different acids cause acid rain. They measure the pH of the water to calculate the water's acidity. They discover how acid rain dissolves rock materials.

Seventy percent of the air pollution in China is due to car exhaust. Under the umbrella of environmental chemistry, learners extensively explore air pollution. From the makeup of our atmosphere to sources of major air pollutants, classes...

In this acids and bases worksheet, students answer 18 questions about acids, bases, titrations, pH of solutions and the ions that make solutions acidic or basic.

How does carbon dioxide affect the world's oceans? The final installment in a series of six lessons has pupils research ocean acidification, then conduct an experiment to witness the delicate balance that exists in our seas. Materials...

Tired of your students taking you for granite? Use a unit that offers multiple hands-on weathering and erosion labs and interactive activities. Some of the exciting lessons include planning a tour of Australia, using ice...

Wave goodbye to the same old demonstrations for alternative energy sources, and wave hello to this one investigating ocean waves! Using a water bottle to create an oscillating water column, learners see and possibly hear how the...

Students explore the causes of erosion and observe how different surfaces erode differently. They recognize erosion and predict what type of erosion caused it. In addition, they predict the outcomes of erosion on different materials.

Learners investigate the process of hydroponic agriculture. They grow beans in different hydroponic solutions, compare results and graph their observations.

Step into Dirtmeister's Science Lab as he sets out to answer the challenge question: "How does acid rain affect an ecosystem?" Learn about ecosystems, make your predictions and then do the experiment.

In this biology lab, young scholars will investigate whether acid/acid rain affects the germination of seeds through the use of observation, experimentation, data analysis, oral presentations, and scientific writing.

An simple experiment that will allow students to observe the effects of acids and bases on an egg and to then discuss what these observations tells us about larger issues, like acid rain.

As part of acid rain study, (environmental chemistry lab) students investigate the differences in pH of soil samples. They will collect and dry samples from the local prairie including grassland, transition, forest and riverbank and...
