Topic: Ocean Acidification
In this unit, students will explore the issue of ocean acidification by investigating the effects of increasing carbon dioxide concentrations in air and water, researching the impacts of acidity on living organisms, and developing and revising models of how these components interact. By the end of the unit, models will be used to support student explanations of ocean acidification and to explore and test ideas for decreasing its environmental impact upon Earth’s oceans and the organisms that live there. This unit builds toward NGSS PE’s: MS-LS2-3 and MS-ESS2-1.
