Lakes are crystal clear but dead. Sugar maples are dying. Frog species are becoming extinct. The culprit? Acid Rain.

Where does it come from? How is it formed? Are we humans responsible for this problem ?

The big question

Join us in this project in which schools across the province/country/world try to find an experimental answer to this problem-question by collecting precipation samples, by testing for acid rain deposition and by exchanging results for analysis.
