Pershore High School Acid Rain Project: Investigating the Causes and Effects of Acid Rain

"Join us on our mission as three groups of year nine students from Pershore High School collect rainwater samples and test them for acidity using pH meters. Explore our findings on the effects of acid rain through informative leaflets and discover the unexpected results from further testing on river and pond water near the school. Uncover possible reasons for unusually high pH levels in the water samples and learn more about this environmental concern."

  1. Pershore High School Acid Rain Project

  2. 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.

  3. 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

  4. 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.
