In this lesson, students test for visible and invisible pollutants in the air and keep a journal of experimental results, procedures, and conclusions. Using simple materials, they will form groups to set up experiments around the school, keep records, research the history of acid rain, make a mural showing the acid rain cycle, and post a chart displaying the sources of visible pollutants.

to
explore
the
growth
of
plants
and
the
care
required
for
plant
survival

temperature,
light,
and
water
in
order
to
set
up
an
