Learning about acid rain is important because it highlights the environmental and societal impacts of pollution. Acid rain, caused by sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides reacting with water in the atmosphere, damages ecosystems, buildings, and human health. Understanding acid rains causes and effects helps us recognize the consequences of industrial emissions and the importance of sustainable practices. Studying acid rain also emphasizes the need for regulations to reduce air pollution and protect natural and man-made environments, fostering awareness and action to preserve our planet’s health. With this in mind, let’s learn about this excellent teaching resource.

This acid rain research project template (webquest) provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resource that can help your students learn all about acid rain. For digital, you can provide a Google doc copy for ease of submission or a Microsoft word version as well. In this acid rain research project template (webquest) with questions to check comprehension and inspire scientific thinking. It gives a rich and supportive framework that can be tweaked as needed for students to support differentiation.

Each research project template includes:

• Space for a one paragraph summary (that links to the 2 page science article also available on this topic - but does not have to).
• Students should produce a mathematical connection, an engineering / technology connection, 2 interesting facts / stats.
• 5 glossary terms they should fill in with their own words (which also links to the science article also available)
• 3 thought provoking questions (ie: critical thinking questions) they must answer.
• Finally, each template has 3 alternative thought provoking questions for younger students and 3 other alternative harder questions to extend high flying or older students. Giving you a total of 9 possible thought provoking questions that could be used with students to enhance their research and critical thinking.
• Further, I have added a 1 page - 20 point rubric to be used for either self-assessment or teacher assessment as you deem fit. I hope it helps support the learning even further!

The template is some of my best work and I am proud to share it with you.

The science article provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resource that can supplement lessons. It is an article with questions to check comprehension and inspire scientific thinking. I am very proud of this series of science articles and they are rich with information and wonder at the majesty of science. Each science article includes a fun fact(s) to add to the knowledge gained from this article. Formatted in an easy to read and digest manner, each paragraph is numbered to help with referencing and each question answer has a paragraph reference number to point to the specific information (where applicable).
