Did you like using your special pH paper?  When I went to visit some friends they were using special pH paper to check their pool water.  It is very important that scientists learn all about acids and bases because when there is too much acid in water it is not good for animals and plants.  You can learn more about how acid rain is not good for us through one of the web sites below.  Have fun!
