Innovating Science™ Environmental Chemistry: Acid Rain, Weathering and Erosion

Description

Includes

• Marble, brick, granite, limestone and sandstone chips
• Steel, copper and zinc shot
• Three containers of sulfuric acid concentrate (to make 500mL each)
• 120 disposable measuring cups
• Teacher's guide
• Copy-masters

Requires

• Tap water
• Graduated cylinders (10 or 25mL)

See how rates of weathering and erosion may increase rapidly based on the material being exposed to acid precipitation.

Acid rain describes any type of acidic moisture that can have devastating effects on not only aquatic ecosystems but also terrestrial areas.

• Expose rock materials and metals, both naturally occurring and common in construction, to acidic environment
• Examine the reaction of these materials in contrast to the same materials exposed to “normal” rain (tap water)
