Students measure the pH of unpolluted water and simulated acid rain and model the effects of acid rain on human-made structures. They determine the buffering effects of 3 types of bedrock (granite, basalt, and marble) and observe teacher-demonstration tests of the pH and alkalinity of local water samples to determine their sensitivity to acid deposition. The materials in the kit are sufficient for 32 students working in groups of 4.

Ratings & Reviews

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Engaging kit This is a really nice easy to use kit. My students learned a lot while they were engaged and challanged. This kit doesn't come with the Teacher's notes or the students handout.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from An excellent kit for demonstrating acid deposition In general, this kit was very effective. The background information is first-rate. My summer institute had poor results with demonstrating the effects of bedrock on acid rain, and when I do this activity (#4) with my class we will modify it. The "acid rain" ran through the rock so quickly that it was not neutralized by any of the three samples. The mapping exercise at the end is an excellent reinforcement.
