Investigating Ocean Acidification
This resource guides students through an experiment to explore how ocean acidification, caused by increased carbon dioxide levels, affects marine organisms with calcium carbonate shells, such as oysters and clams, encouraging scientific investigation and analysis
Introduction to Ocean Acidification
This resource introduces students to the concept of ocean acidification caused by increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide, providing an experiment and design challenge to help students explore its effects on marine ecosystems and understand the chemistry behind this environmental issue.
Investigating Ocean Acidification: Student Investigations
This investigation allows students to explore the impact of carbon dioxide on marine life, focusing on how acidification affects organisms with calcium carbonate shells and guiding students through experiments to test the effects of acid on these shells.
Acidic Oceans Experiment
The "Acidic Oceans" activity demonstrates how ocean acidification, caused by increased carbon dioxide, affects sea creatures like crabs and clams, using a simple home experiment to simulate the impact of acidic conditions on shells.
Ocean Protector
A free online educational game that teaches students about the impacts of ocean acidification and how they can take action to prevent it. Through a series of interactive decisions and evaluations, students will learn about the causes and effects of ocean acidification and evaluate solutions that can help reduce its impact on marine ecosystems and people.
