Acid Deposition Sampling Activity

This 1-page document, from the Advanced Technology Environmental and Energy Center (ATEEC), is a learning activity where students gain the opportunity to use analytical meters and instruments to perform acid deposition sampling. In the activity, students collect samples from various sources over a period of time, measure pH, and develop graphs or charts. Concepts/skills learned during this activity include:

• Use analytical meters and instruments.
• Identify, calibrate, maintain and use lab and field equipment.
• Perform lab/field tests to determine the level of contaminants in a water sample.
• Appropriately label samples and reagents.
