Acid Rain and Canada

Ninth graders utilize several different types of maps to forecast weather conditions specific areas of the country. Air masses, wind, cloud types, fronts, and the pH of the rain is explored in this lesson.

The ocean may seem a world away, but you can actually find it in a science classroom! Learners in the lower grade levels explore the concepts of water pollution, apex predators, the worth of animals, and commercial fishing methods. High...

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.

In the summer of 1815, snow fell every month in New England. Was this related to the volcanic eruption of Tambora in Indonesia earlier in the year? Young scientists design their own experiments to research the long-term effect a volcanic...

Pupils create acid rain using carbonic, nitrous, nitric, and sulfurous acids.

Your students will become aware of and be able to list the major types and sources of water pollution. Being able to recognize that the household, agriculture, and industry sectors of society contribute to water pollution, is the main...

Students 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...

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...

Twelfth graders evaluate the extent of natural and human-caused weathering of school building materials. They brainstorm examples of evidence of chemical, physical and biological weathering of building materials.

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