There is no “quick fix” for ocean acidification; knowledge of the effects of people’s carbon footprint is essential to help minimize the ongoing problem. In this unit, we’ll look at the remoteness of the Antarctic region and how it highlights how the effects of ocean acidification felt all around the world, including in unpopulated areas.

Students watch a video to identify and describe the effects of ocean acidification in detail. Next, they examine a graphical representation of ocean acidification data, summarising the linear trends they see. Finally, students calculate the slope of these lines to quantitatively compare and contrast the strength and direction of these trends.

Students make and evaluate predictions related to increases in global ocean temperatures, sea level rise, and ocean acidification, using evidence from physical demonstrations. They then watch a video to identify the causes and consequences of climate change on the oceans.
