Australia's Science Forum

One of our teachers has been looking for a video about acid rain. At her previous school, they had it on Clickview and she thinks it was called Acid Assault. She has been searching in vain on Youtube but only finds videos of people who have been assaulted with acid - not quite what she was after! She says it was quite old (made in the 80s - is that really quite old, what does that make me?) and it featured a lake in Canada.

Anyone have any ideas of this? It would be good to give her some more details so she has a better chance of finding in on the internet.

call clickview and ask them for the name etc.

We don't have Clickview here, but thanks for the input

Thanks, Julie, that was a big help. I've passed the info onto the teacher - she was very impressed with my efficient!

Isn't it great to be part of a team?

The Chemwatch crowd is so helpful - and I did acknowledge my source!
