In
this Web-based module American and Russian students
will explore an important global environmental
problem which is called "acid rain." In the module
you will learn how to make "acid rain," study the
patterns of weather in North West Georgia and the
North Western part of Russia, as well as find out
how acid rain is produced. Of course, we are all
interested in learning how to reduce acid rain. In
this module you will do experiments, use the
Internet to do research, as well as communicate
with your peers in America and Russia to discuss
what responsibility we have to solving this and
other environmental problems. November

2 and Lesson 3--begin daily monitoring of
the weather & acid rain at your school
site. This will continue until the end of
the module. You might divide your students
into two teams---one team can be
responsible for monitoring the weather
(Lesson 2), and the other acid rain
(Lesson 3) Post
weather and acid rain data in the
CLEO
web site. Students will have to leave the
Project web site and go to CLEO. Make sure
that you go to the site first and register
your class. Once this is done, then the
students can post their data in one of the
two data bases (one on Weather and the
