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...

It's raining, it's pouring! Simulate the precipitation process with rope or hula hoop and assorted colored construction paper. This simple game should give young students a better understanding of how rain falls.

There's nothing like a sky full of big rain clouds to pique a child's imagination and wonder. Youngsters create their very own book about rain! A clever activity incorporating language arts, science, art, and rainy day games. Each pupil...

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...

In this acid rain instructional activity students complete a series of questions on acidity and how acid rain forms.  Students view a slide show and list what they can do to help. 

Students understand the dynamics of acid rain and its impact on the living and non-living environment. They hypothesize how acid rain affects water pH levels in two lake systems with differing watershed features.

Young scholars 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...

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...

Students demonstrate the steps of evaporation, cloud formation, and precipitation within the water cycle. They make and demonstrate how to use a hygrometer to record daily humidity and describe how rain, snow, and sleet form.

Students 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.

Students examine a color-coded map of U.S. acid rain precipitation intensity. Using EPA data table and the blank U.S. map, they record state-by-state values for magnitude of emissions and compare areas of emissions to areas with the most...

Eighth graders study the effects of the water cycle. They create a graph of the air temperature versus solar radiation on a rainy and clear 24 hour period using data from a provided link. Afterward, they answer questions to determine the...

Students observe one of the direct effects of acid water on plant growth. Students engage in an experiment which will take about 2 weeks. Students will understand the effect that acid rain has on plant growth.

Fourth graders study the water cycle and clouds. In this water cycle and cloud lesson, 4th graders determine the definition of condensation and watch a demonstration in which the teacher makes a cloud in a bottle. They discuss the water...

Fifth graders participate in an experiment in which they examine the effects of acid rain on buildings. They discover how huge a problem acid rain is not only to structures but to the environment. They gather pictures of acid rain to...

Students examine the pH level of rain water in their local community. They locate each location on a map. They analyze the data and draw conclusions.

Students participate in an experiment to become aware of the harmful effects of an acidic solution -- acid rain.

Students observe the effects of acid rain on plants through experimentation and research. Students research types of crops in their area. Students work in small groups to complete the experiments given, as well as write a report and...

Students set up an experiment and make observations of the effect of acid rain.

Explore the water cycle with a hands-on earth science activity that prompts pupils to measure the amount of water normally transpired by plants. After they describe the flow of the water cycle and provide examples of how human...

Students explore how climatic factors influence the growth of plants. They create an experiment to find how variations in water, light, and temperature affect plant growth and describe how precipitation and geography can affect the...

Students identify and analyze how acid rain can affect the environment. They then explain how air, water, and pollution interact and conduct pH tests to find acidity levels in water. Finally, students become "Pollution Watch Reporters"...

Young scholars investigate the relationship of the steps in the water cycle, and create a simulation of the water cycle in a jar.

Aside from a mention of a textbook page, this chemistry assignment is a suitable review of acids and bases. It begins by addressing conjugate pairs and acid base reactions. Neutralization and amphoteric properties are also dealt with....
