Science at key stage 3 (Year 9)
Unit 9G: Environmental chemistry
Section 5: b. What are the effects of acid rain and how can they be reduced?
|
|
Objectives |
| Children should learn: |
- that acid rain damages living organisms and materials
- about ways in which emissions of oxides causing acid rain can be reduced
- to use secondary sources to find information about key questions
|
Activities |
|
Outcomes |
|
Children: |
- Ask pupils to use reference materials to identify the effect of acid rain on plants and animals in a particular location, and to identify the source(s) of the acid rain.
- Ask them also to find out about ways, eg catalytic converters, sulphur precipitators, in which acidic emissions can be reduced. Summarise both sets of information in a class display or set of information cards.
|
|
- identify a source of acid rain and its effect on living organisms within a particular environment
- describe how emissions from a particular source causing acid rain could be reduced
