The Acid Rain Kids Web Site

A Good Idea

Description

The Acid Rain Kids Site is designed to introduce younger children (grades 1-3) to the subject of acid rain through a variety of fun, interactive activities, including the following:

- "The Tale of Lucy Lake," an illustrated story about the effects of acid rain on a lake ecosystem.
- Several interactive connect-the-dot activities.
- A word search with words related to acid rain.
- An activity book for coloring and doing other fun activities.

Acid rain is a problem that affects us all--whether it is damaging your car, defacing historic statues, harming trees in a once-beautiful mountainous forest, or destroying the fish population in a lake. The message to spread, however, is that we can all make a difference and help reduce the presence of acid rain.

Goal / Mission

The goal of this website is to provide younger children with basic information about acid rain and help them form a foundation of knowledge about, and an interest for, a variety of environmental issues.

Results / Accomplishments

The website is available online at http://www.epa.gov/acidrain/site_kids/index.htm.
