Text Investigating Ocean Acidification

TLF ID A005123

In this activity students investigate how ocean acidification may affect organisms with shells or exoskeletons made of calcium carbonate, such as oysters, clams, sea snails and coral. Students develop and conduct an experiment to test the effect of carbonated water on calcium carbonate and then analyse the results and produce a scientific report. This resource is part of a suite of resources from Queensland Museum focused on ocean acidification.
