Acid Rain and Plants

Simulated acid rain, a dilute sulfuric acid solution, needs to be prepared for this demonstration. After a condensed lecture on acid rain, you will apply the solution to a sample of granite and a sample of limestone. Your young...

Learners use litmus paper to begin to discover the qualities of acids and bases. They learn about pH by testing clear liquids for acidity with purple cabbage juice as an indicator. The video Streamkeeper, with Bill Nye, and other video...

Here's a great geology instructional activity 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...

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 observe the effects of acid rain on plants. They simulate an experiment using vinegar or lemon water. They observe the impact of acids on plants and recognize how acid rain can affect the environment. They examine their plants...

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.

Pupils 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.

Create a simulation of acid rain in your classroom with lemon juice and bean plants to help kids study the effects of pollution on plants. In addition, learners will listen to a story and write responses based on guiding questions.

Students explore acid rain. In this science lesson plan, students demonstrate phenomenologically the effects of acid rain on our environment and perform long-term "real-time" experiments.

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