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.
The external provider, Cetacean Science Connection, offers an incursion that uses the design-based thinking process. In this program, students will develop solutions to reduce marine plastic pollution, whether by collecting it at the source, on the beach or in a gyre, or by changing human behaviour. This real-world STEM problem, if solved, could not only reduce the risk of injury or death to marine wildlife, but also improve the lives of coastal communities around the world.
