The finished product of each group is evaluated to determine which
of the following criteria have been met. One point is awarded for
each criterion that is adequately addressed in the report submitted
by the group.
Criterion 1: An experiment is designed to determine
if the precipitation is acidic.
Criterion 2: An experiment is designed to determine
the effects of acid rain
OR
Students demonstrate exceptional understanding of the effects
of acid rain.
Criterion 3: General description of acid rain. This
should include discussion of where acid rain comes from. To meet
this criterion, the students must show an understanding of their
description of acid rain, i.e., information copied word for word
from an encyclopedia without further discussion does not meet this
criterion parameter.
Criterion 4: A plan is offered to reduce the amount
of acid rain or prevent acid rain from developing.
