Middle school environmentalists record the pH of four different liquids, including two aerosol cleaning products. They liken the products to acid rain and speculate in writing which might affect the human respiratory system. Although...

Students monitor the pH level of the precipitation in their local area for one month. In this hands-on activity, students use lab equipment to measure the pH levels and an online tool to track their findings. Ultimately, students seek to...

Young scholars study how clouds form, what different types there are and what rain is.  In this atmospheric lesson students make a cloud and create evaporation.

Students explore the causes of erosion and observe how different surfaces erode differently. They recognize erosion and predict what type of erosion caused it. In addition, they predict the outcomes of erosion on different materials.

Young scholars study lightening and the history behind how it was used for electricity.  In this electricity lesson students complete several experiments on the invention of the lightning rod.

In this biology lab, students will investigate whether acid/acid rain affects the germination of seeds through the use of observation, experimentation, data analysis, oral presentations, and scientific writing.

A lab activity that takes place over a few weeks, where students first determine the pH of different solutions, then choose three that are acidic. They set up petri dishes with radish seeds and hydrate them with the different solutions...

As part of acid rain study, (environmental chemistry lab) students investigate the differences in pH of soil samples. They will collect and dry samples from the local prairie including grassland, transition, forest and riverbank and...
