The document summarizes an experiment on the effects of acid rain on plants. The experiment showed that a plant grown with vinegar, representing acid rain, was almost dying with very damaged leaves, while a plant grown with normal water was perfect and healthy. The conclusion is that acid rain can harm plants and ecosystems, and we need to reduce pollution to decrease acid rain and protect the environment.

or buy some sod at a nursery. Push one square
of sod down into a jar so that the sod's soil is
in the water.
Step 2: Then put 1/4 cup of vinegar in the other
jar. Push the second square of sod down into
the jar, so the soil is in the vinegar.
Step 3: Now place both jars in a warm, sunny
place, and watch what happens over the next
several days.
Step 4: Vinegar is an acid, like the acid in acid
rain. Acid rain is a worldwide problem. It can
be caused by smoke from factories, burning
