Acid Rain - Science

 Acid rain is made by a chemical reaction that starts when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. Cars, trucks, and busses all add these compounds into the air. The pollution from the compounds that cause acid rain can also create tiny particles. These particles get into people's lungs and can cause health problems and/or can make existing health problems worse. China has the worst spell of acid rain because of its extensive use of acid rain. Acid rain can not rot your skin and it doesn't taste or smell any different than normal rain.

Acid Rain Experiment:

Equipment - 

Universal indicator,
Bromothymol blue,
Moist Calcium Carbonate,
Moist flower petals,
Moist apple,
dropper.

Observation - 

Start: The universal indicator is a green liquid. Bromothymol blue is a blue liquid. The calcium carbonate is a cream-coloured powder.. The flower petal is a red solid. The apple is an apple coloured solid.

After: The universal indicator turned red. The Bromothymol blue turned red. The calcium carbonate turned into a cream-coloured solid. The flower petal turned into a withered solid. The apple turned into a dry solid.
