- : We intend to analyze different rain samples for the duration of fall. We would then record these recordings in a journal. We can also use the journal (duotang) to keep track of weather conditions daily from now till due date. Initially in this long term experiment, we can measure the ph of tap water as well. If acidity over the next month or so increases, we can measure tap water as well afterwards to see if Ontario Hydro adapted well enough with their purification process. In order to do this, we will require ph paper (got it, thx Ryan) and perhaps and electronic ph detector. When we test the water, we should keep the ph paper, to show afterwards =) We should also keep the collector distilled everytime, with distilled water.
- Research data, on acid rain. (already under way)
- : Perhaps perform gas chamber experiment, where we burn fossil fuels and watch the ph changes for water.
And as always, whenever you have free time, try to spend a little time researching for information.. I think we
have enough written information for now, we just have to sort through it, but we are lacking in pictures, video, etc.....
We should try to contact original sources. Including: the Ministry of Natural Resources/Environment, Sierra Group,
Greenpeace and so on. Try searching for them on the net, and maybe we'll write a letter to them. We should also try looking
up UNIVERSITY resources, and the data/experiments they performed.
More to follow....

US EPA Acid Rain Home Page - U.S. Gov't environmental page - lots of good info
Energy Fact Sheet - lots of text but lots of useful info on effects of acid rain, etc.
Acid Rain and the Fate of a Lake - self-explanatory
