Effects of Weathering
Here's a great geology lesson for 3rd graders on weathering and erosion of soil. After a class discussion on how nature can "move a mountain," learners take a look at how a modern phenoma called acid rain can also cause weathering and...

Acid Rain
Students investigate the effects of acid rain. The lesson contains a lab background for the teacher to use before the implementation of the lesson. They conduct an experiment to collect data and then report the results of the observations.
Curated OER
Acid Rain
Students conduct an experiment using two or three plants. They sprinkle one plant with water and the other with vinegar or lemon juice several times a day. After several days they discuss the condition of the plants.

Weather Patterns and Acid Rain (or What is Chicago's acid rain doing in the Adirondacks?)
Pupils examine a color-coded map of U.S. acid rain precipitation intensity. Using EPA data table and the blank U.S. map, they record state-by-state values for magnitude of emissions and compare areas of emissions to areas with the most...

Acid Rain and pH
Students study acidic and alkaline balance. In this acid and pH levels instructional activity, students read information about pH, the formation of acid rain and its impact on environments. Students then complete an experiment to learn...
Curated OER
Acid Rain And Geology
Pupils become aware of the environmental problems caused by acid rain and study the pH scale. They determine acidity of local rain water.
Curated OER
Effects of Acid Rain
Third graders 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...

The Impact of Acid Rain and the Greenhouse Effect on the Environment
Students study acid rain and complete several activities that show how it affects the environment. They role play members of the community involved in a major decision involving the protection of the environment.
Curated OER
Acid Rain
Pupils 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...

WS 9.9 Presentation Questions
In this presentation worksheet, students answer questions about five different topics presented in class. These include acid rain, acid etching, pH testing, cave formation and kidney stones.
Curated OER
Acid Rain
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.
Curated OER
Acid Rain Environment Pollution
Students combine different materials to create chemical reactions. In this chemical reaction lesson plan, students will combine different materials to create chemical reactions and define these results as acids or bases. They will also...

Rain that Ruins
Students participate in a series of experiments to determine how acid rain contributes to the deterioration of buildings and monuments. Using common building materials, students compare the noticeable short-term affects of distilled...
Curated OER
Acid Attack
Pupils explore the effect of chemical erosion on statues and monuments. They use chalk to see what happens when limestone is placed in liquids with different pH values. They also discover several things that engineers are doing to reduce...
Curated OER
Acid and Rain and Its Effects
Students work in groups for up to three weeks to investigate the possibility of acid rain in your area and to investigate the damage that acid rain can do to buildings, monuments, and plants. Each group prepares a report to local...
Curated OER
Not So Neutral Views
Students explore ways to use indicators to distinguish between acids and bases. They conduct an experiment to model and discuss the harmful effect of acid rain in our living and non-living environment.
Curated OER
Monumental Disappearance
Fourth graders compare the emissions listed on the EPA isopleths over the past five-year period for ten key states. They use this information to rank each region according to the degree of acid rain problem in those parts of the United...
