An introduction, aimed at upper elementary- and middle-school learners, to acid rain. [Click back to home to access the site in Spanish.]

What are the causes and effects of acid rain in our environment? To learn more about this serious environmental issue check out this website. Contains a page with several acid rain activities for students.

Geology and chemistry of acid rain effects. Lots of building and monument pictures showing acid rain damage. Be sure to follow the "next" link at bottom of each page.

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.

Article explains the power of acid rain. Acid rain dissolves forest nutrients faster than previously thought.

A thorough explanation of acid rain with a focus on the following topics: what is acid rain, the pH scale measures acidity, what does acid rain do, and what can I do about acid rain.

Explore more about acid rain. This is an online experiment to observe "The influence of acid rain on plant growth." Find out how acid rain can damage your plants directly and indirectly.

Understand the make-up of and effects of acid rain.

This is the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency's acid rain portal. Find links to information on the causes and effects of acid rain, how it is measured, and some suggestions for ways to reduce its occurrence.

Learn about acid rain and the devasting effects it has on the U.S., particularly on our nation's capital and monuments.

Explains what acid rain is, how it is measured, its effects, and what humans can do to mitigate and reverse the environmental damage.

in this lesson plan students conduct an experiment to find out how acid rain can harm plants.

A brief article defining "acid precipitation," followed by directions for a hands-on demonstration which "show[s] the direct effect of acid water on plant growth."

The following interactive resource provides an explanation of what acid rain is and it highlights its causes and effects.

In this activity, students 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 learn several things that engineers...

Explore buffers in lakes, ponds, and streams. "In this experiment, you will observe the effects of limestone on the acidity of water."

Air pollution affects all things. It is harmful to our health, and it impacts the environment. Greenhouse gas pollution affects the entire planet.

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.

Market-based regulatory programs designed by the EPA, with information for consumers and industry cap-and-trade policies, Clean Air Act, and other government-sponsored efforts to reduce air pollution.

The goal of this activity is for students to develop visual literacy. They learn how images are manipulated for a powerful effect and how a photograph can make the invisible (pollutants that form acid rain) visible (through the damage...

Students are introduced to acids and bases, and the environmental problem of acid rain. They explore ways to use indicators to distinguish between acids and bases. Students also conduct a simple experiment to model and discuss the...

This hands-on activity explores five different forms of erosion (chemical, water, wind, glacier and temperature). Students rotate through stations and model each type of erosion on rocks, soils and minerals. The students record their...
