Ocean Acidification: pH and The Ocean's Balance |
Students in this lesson will learn to about ocean acidification through the pH scale, and how a small shift in the pH scale represents a much larger shift in the chemical balance. |

Ocean Acidification |
This lesson emphasizes balance between natural geologic processes and human activities affecting ocean seawater acidity, as measured by pH. Further discussing, how human activities are altering these processes to cause a rapid decline in ocean pH. |
