Question: The concerns of acid rain vary across the globe. Many countries in North America and Europe have websites dealing with acid rain. Either search to locate one (“Canada, acid rain”) or use these links to websites in Canada, the UK, or Europe. What are the issues in the country you selected? Does the acid deposition originate outside the borders of the country?
Our Group’s Answer: Concerns of acid rain in Canada relates to the imbalance of alkalinity of the soil and the aquatic ecosystem. The high levels of acid and calcium deposition around Canada (in United States) greatly affected the ecosystems of Canada and the quality and quantity of lifeforms had been affected significantly.

Part of the notes are not clear, e.g. a slide with a figure without label or any description. Since there will be no lecture during the lesson, it will be great to have an informative notes which also will be beneficial to the student who have no background of Chemistry. Other than that, it will be good to have a short review lecture in every week, easy for the student to revise on each of the units.
