Towers of the Lost City
Middle school marine scientists compare the pH change in distilled and saltwater as acetic acid is added one drop at a time. Then they compare the pH change in both when sodium hydroxide is added. This experiment demonstrates the...

Lost City Chemistry Detectives
In 1977, scientists discovered hot springs in the middle of deep, cold ocean waters near the Galapagos Islands. Scholars research the chemical reactions that explain what scientists found at the Lost City. A discussion connects many...
Curated OER
The Big Balancing Act
Students describe chemical changes occurring in hydrothermal circulation systems. They make inferences about the significance of these systems to ocean chemical balance compared to terrestrial runoff.

Where There's Smoke, There's ...
A remotely operated vehicle approaching a volcano was engulfed by molten sulfur where the plumes of fluids contained the highest concentrations of aluminum ever recorded. This isn't science fiction or an April fools joke, though it did...
Curated OER
Ancient Bugs
Students describe Archaea. In this biology activity, students examine biological communities and the role Archaea plays. Students will compare and contrast the Archaea with bacteria and eukaryote.
Curated OER
Candy Chemosynthesis
Learners explain chemosynthesis and photosynthesis using candy. In this chemosynthesis instructional activity, students work cooperatively to create a visual explanation of the chemical equations of photosynthesis and chemosynthesis.
