Ocean Carbon Balance
Students will learn about the impacts of ocean acidification by replicating the molecular process that increases carbon dioxide emissions. Students will experiment by testing various common household liquids using pH testing strips to determine how carbon dioxide increases the oceans' acidity.
The Energy Coalition will send you 3 different colors of molding clay, toothpicks, paper straws, pH testing strip indicators, and clear plastic cups to bring this lesson to life.
