The Chemistry students will complete a lab that demonstrates the effects of acid on limestone to represent the destruction of rock, edifices, sculptures, and environment in the world today. The Art students will create a presentation that is calculated to focus attention or alter viewers' attitudes regarding chemical pollution that causes acid precipitation such as rain, snow, mist, fog, etc. Plan Ask the art students what happens when we pollute our air with chemicals from industries and transportation.
Acid rain is a major pollutant in the world today.
Show a video of acid rain and its destruction on our Earth's environment. Show some photographs from books that gets the point across to the students that humans are the cause of this environmental destruction. The chemistry students will complete a laboratory demonstration for both art and chemistry students to understand the effect of acid on limestone. Use a pan to set chalk in and to catch vinegar. Explain what happens in this process.
