Ocean Acidification: Impacts of Carbonated Seawater on Mussel and Oyster Shells |
Students in this lesson will focus on understanding the impacts of acidified seawater on mussels and oyster shells. |
Biology, Chemistry, Climate Change, Marine |
Elementary (4-5), Middle School (6-8) |
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. |
