2 Truths & a LIE • Approximately 2-3% of the water on earth is usable to humans • The United States uses about 346,000 million gallons of fresh water every day • The average U.S. person uses the most water daily by flushing the toilet
2 Truths & a LIE • Water dissolves more substances than any other liquid • Rain water has a neutral pH of 7 • Rain water can carries chemicals, minerals, and nutrients with it
Laboratory Experiment: Biology II Save the stream!Acid Rain Investigation
Before we begin: • 1. Find a partner- choose wisely! • 2. Devise an experimental plan • Requirements: - Must test 3 additive - No additional materials given -Plan must be approved before starting-pH meter- pg 3
3. Experimentation • Need to wear safety goggles • Data collection- pg 4 • 30 minutes! Work efficiently! • 4. Post-lab questions • Finish for homework
Clean-up Procedure • 1. Throw again soil cups • 2. Dump acid rain in the sink • 3. Rise beakers • 4. Put all materials back on tray; place tray where you found them.
Think-Pair-Share • What does it mean to be “acidic”, “neutral” , and “basic”? 2. How does pollution create acid rain? 3. How could acid rain damage the ecosystem? List 3 examples. 4. Is there any way to “neutralize” acid rain less acidic?!
