Acid Rain: Educational Resources

This Web site is designed to educate students about acid rain. It gives them definitions, causes, the various effects acid rain has on humans, plants, buildings and objects, and what is being done to reduce its occurrence. In addition, it offers students several ways they can help reduce acid rain, including asking their parents to modify some of their routines. The site achieves this through informational text, and then reinforces it through several interactive and fun games and activities.
