Acid Rain: The Disappearing Statue

Investigate the effects of acid rain on plants then record your observations on the data collection sheet.

Gardeners are given an individual plant specimen from a bouquet of local rain garden plants. They group up by their plant type and then make observations together, name the plant, and introduce it to the rest of the class. You then share...

Little chemists observe the effects of acid on calcium carbonate as an example of chemical change. As a demonstration you will place a raw egg in vinegar overnight, and as a lab activity, learners drip vinegar onto a piece of chalk....

Students investigate acid rain. In this environmental lesson, students participate in an experiment using litmus paper and various liquids and then test the acidity of the liquids. Students identify reasons why acid is harmful to the...

Chemicals from the Earth's atmosphere are making their way down to the planet. Not in spaceships, but in rain. The acid rain can infiltrate ground water, lakes, and streams. How does acid rain affect aquatic ecosystems?

Young scholars 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...

Integrate math, science, and speaking/listening with a collaborative hands-on activity. Each group works with a single penny, examining it with the naked eye and recording observations. Repeat using magnifying glasses. Then repeat with a...

Pupils become plants in an interpretive play that depicts what happens throughout the seasons in a rain garden. As you narrate, learners bloom, flower, and go to seed accordingly. The lesson is first in a series of lessons written for...

Try this at-home science experiment to learn about chemical erosion and how it works.

Understand how chemical reactions recombine atoms to create the "chemicals of life". An experiment, showing the basic chemical reactions of an iron nail or a match, helps young children start their understanding of permanent changes.
