Acid Rain - Design Your Own Experiment
Design Your Own Experiment
How to Select a Topic Relating to this Concept
You can explore many other aspects of acid rain. Consider what puzzles you about this topic. For example, what would happen if you added vinegar or another acid to a jar of water with limestone (calcium carbonate) gravel in the bottom? Lime is a base that can neutralize acid, so would the pH level of the water still drop with the limestone in there?
How does ground lime affect plants that have been damaged by acid rain? Will they begin growing well again if lime neutralizes the soil? What if lime is applied first and then the plants are watered with acid rain? Will the lime protect them? How does acid rain affect the germination of seeds? Which plants are more tolerant of acid rain than others?
