What is Ocean Acidification?
What is Ocean Acidification? Video A video to understand ocean acidification and its impacts. Students will learn about how carbon dioxide (CO2) affects the pH of the ocean, and how increasing ocean acidity may adversely affect marine life and the seafood industry. Use this tool to help your students find answers to: How might increasing […]
Ocean Chemistry, Ocean Acidification, and Oyster Growth
Ocean Chemistry, Ocean Acidification, and Oyster Growth Classroom/Laboratory Activity A classroom/laboratory activity to learn about the pH of ocean water, explore the potential effects of climate change on ocean acidification, and understand the possible impacts of ocean acidification on marine organisms such as oysters. Students will explore and analyze the relationship between the growth of […]
pH Scale, Ocean Chemistry and Impact of Ocean Acidification on Marine Life
pH Scale, Ocean Chemistry and Impact of Ocean Acidification on Marine Life Teaching Module A set of hands-on laboratory activities that uses the pH scale to understand the changes in ocean chemistry due to increased carbon dioxide emissions. This module shows that increased ocean acidification has adverse effects on marine organisms. This teaching module will […]
Buffers, Buffer Action, and Ocean Acidification
Buffers, Buffer Action, and Ocean Acidification Overview Overview As a high school or undergraduate Chemistry, Environmental Sciences, or Earth Sciences teacher, you can use this set of computer-based tools to teach about buffers, how buffers work (buffer action), ocean carbonate buffering, and ocean acidification due to higher levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). This lesson […]
The Changing of pH of Ocean Water and Its Impact on Marine Life
The Changing of pH of Ocean Water and Its Impact on Marine Life visualization A visualisation to learn about the pH scale, the pH of different liquids, ocean acidification, and the possible impacts of ocean acidification on marine life. Students will identify the pH of different liquids and observe how the average pH of ocean […]
pH Levels of Oceans and Atmospheric CO2
pH Levels of Oceans and Atmospheric CO2 visualization A visualization that allows students to explore changes in the pH levels of oceans for different levels of atmospheric CO2. It includes visualization of CO2 concentrations corresponding to various emission scenarios of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The simulation enables students to visualise the global […]
Ocean Buffer Chemistry
Ocean Buffer Chemistry Video A video micro-lecture that explains carbonate buffering in the ocean. It includes discussions on the changes in the chemical composition of the ocean caused by a higher concentration of dissolved CO2,ocean acidification and the resulting effect on ocean biota. Students will learn how oceans behave as carbon sinks by absorbing atmospheric […]
