Environmental Activities

Testing Rainwater in Your Neighborhood with Cabbage Soup
Acid rain is precipitation containing harmful amounts of nitric and sulfuric acids formed primarily by when fossil fuels are burned. It can be wet precipitation (rain, snow, or fog) or dry precipitation (absorbed gaseous and particulate matter, aerosol particles or dust). This activity allows students to determine the acid levels in their rain water.

Filtering Water
Many different foreign materials and contaminates make their way into our waterways. In developing countries, the absence of a water treatment infrastructure poses great danger to the people and to the ecosystem. in this activity, we are going to add different pollutants to our water and experience the ease or difficulty in removing these items by using different kinds of filters.
