This Web 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 (1 MB PDF, 5 pages, About PDF) 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. We hope this Web site will 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.
