Corals on acid: An inquiry-based activity leading students to a better understanding of ocean acidification impacts
ocean acidification, skeletal samples, calcification of marine organisms The objective of this inquiry-based lesson is for students to gain an understanding of how increasing ocean acidity can affect the calcification of marine organisms. During this activity, students: (1) design an experiment to q...
