Ocean acidification in a test tube
Provided by: Dr Sarah Greene, University of Birmingham
Activity type(s): Classroom activity
Duration: 20 min.
Suitable for ages: N/A
Description:
This is a hands-on demonstration showing how the addition of anthropogenic carbon dioxide to the atmosphere acidifies the ocean. The exercise can be extended to demonstrate one pathway by which ocean acidification will be ameliorated in future, either naturally or potentially enhanced by geoengineering.
