Ocean Acidification

(Grades 6-12)

Ocean acidification is one of the most serious environmental issues facing the planet and is predicted to have devastating impacts. This three-lesson kit familiarizes students with the causes and consequences of ocean acidification. In Lesson 1, students learn about ocean acidification through a PowerPoint and background readings. In Lesson 2, students examine the process of ocean acidification by conducting an experiment using CO₂ and pH probes. In Lesson 3, students learn how ocean acidification affects calcifying organisms through a hands-on activity. Lessons 1 & 3 each require approximately 15 minutes of class time, while Lesson 2 requires a full 45-minute class period.
