Pershore High School Acid Rain Project
About Our Project…. • Three groups of year nine students collected samples of rain water from their gardens. • The samples of water were then tested using pH meters (universal indicator paper is not precise enough). • We produced leaflets about the causes and effects of acid rain.
The Results • Despite choosing the driest two weeks in January, a large number of students managed to collect enough rainwater to test. • Click on one of the classes below to see their results: - 9Xw 9Ya 9Zn
Further Testing • We also took samples of river and pond water around the school, here are the results: - • These results seemed very high, possible reasons could be; a faulty pH meter or lime (calcium oxide) being washed into the streams from nearby building work.
