Acid Rain

Learners examine the social and scientific implications of acid rain. In this acid rain lesson plan, students read an article about acid rain, the causes of acid rain, the effects of acid rain on the environment and the proposals to...

Students discuss what causes acid rain and comprehend the harmful affects if has. They research what can be done to prevent acid rain and other forms of pollution. Students draw a scene depicting the causes and effects of acid rain and...

Students examine causes of acid rain and compare the distribution of acid rain to the population distributions of Canada. They view and analyze maps, and describe and interpret relationships between acid rain and population locations.

Acid rain, and how it affects the environment, is the focus of this Earth science activity. During the study, learners evaluate measures to reduce acid rain, and design an investigation to demonstrate the conection between a hypothesis...

Pupils investigate the pH of rain water in this earth science lesson. They collect rain water from their area and explore the pH when lime stone is added, then they will use the data collected to conjecture as to the effect of acid rain...

Get out the goggles and 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. Young chemists observe and describe the harmful...

Students examine how acid rain affects the rain forest. They identify the causes of acid rain, determine how human behavior can affect the environment and discuss ways to prevent acid rain and acid rain damage to the rain forest.

Develop an environmental case study! Elementary learners discover how a case study is used as an analysis tool. The goal of this activity is to show pupils how techniques of persuasion (including background, supporting evidence,...

Students are asked what does rain do? They are told that rain waters the Earth, but also drops acid. Students are told when there is too much pollution in the atmosphere that the environment can't neutralize it, the acid leaches into...

Students become aware of the environmental problems caused by acid rain and study the pH scale. They determine acidity of local rain water.
