This
demonstration
is
designed
to
show
the
effect
of
acid
on
statues
and
buildings.
Students
will
learn
how
acid
rain
is
an
air
pollution
problem
as
the
teacher
discusses
the
slow
deterioration
of
statues
and
buildings
due
to
the
weak
acid
rain
that
falls
on
them.
Students
will
learn
that
the
sulfur
and
nitrogen
compounds
that
contribute
to
acid
rain
primarily
come
from
man-made
sources,
such
as

In
this
lesson
plan
students
will
speculate
on
various
scenarios
of
future
world
climates
if
the
greenhouse
effect
increases.
Upon
completing
this
lesson,
students
should
be
familiar
with
carbon
dioxide
(CO2)
and
theories
about
its
role
in
the
greenhouse
effect;
the

conference
that
was
held
in
Kyoto,
Japan,
in
1997
to
