Acid Rain Continued...

After collecting our data on the pH of the bodies of water in the Gray Area, this week students focused on making sense of the numbers.  They looked at the "Acid Rain Files" a collection of research and evidence about the problem and looked at the statements of the factory owners in the area.  Students came to the conclusion that limestone is neutralizing most of the acid rain, but the high acidity of one particular granite-based river could still be the problem for fish.



We also broke ground on our expert card project for our field study and started our graphing unit in math.  Students represented single and double bar graphs using charts and wrote answerable and unanswerable questions based on the information provided.  Use these sites at home for continued practice.
