Acid Rain experiment

In class we learned that acid rain occurs when rain mixes with gases in the atmosphere and that these gases can come from factories, car exhaust, forest fires, and other resources. We also read that they can kill or damage trees, plants, and animals. We have had firsthand experience with our acid rain experiment in class. We started with 2 healthy plants and watered one with unpolluted rain water and the other with acid rain (vinegar/water solution). Sadly, we've watched the plant die because most plants cannot survive when the acid level in the water is high. Each week we record our results and discuss what has happened and what we predict might happen next.
