Get some sodium metabisulfate. Make a solution of sodium metabisulfate and water with a fairly strong molarity (around 10% is good). Have a bunch of seeds on hand, something that grows fast, divide them into two groups and put them into tupperware containers. Put a petri dish in the middle of each container. In one petri dish put water, in the other put the sodium metabisulfate solution. Track the germination of both containers over five days. You should see some disparities; this will simulate sulfate groups in acid rain. If you wanted to get really into it you could do a serial dilution of your solution to show the effects of acid rain at different concentrations.
Actually, you could pretty much use anything--even a solution of gasoline and water. You would have to dilute it heavily, but the idea is that the pollutants get into the air and condensate with the water, proving detrimental to the plant.

perplexing to do properly yet significant in this modern-day international interior the 70s you should surely see the (pollution in) air in l. a. if California had not executed some thing no physique ought to stay there on the instant
