Off Base
Learners explain the Chatelier's Principle. In this pH lesson plan, students identify factors that resist changes in pH of the ocean and why the ocean is becoming more acidic.
Curated OER
An Oceanographic Proxy
Students conduct experiments on a sample of sea water. In this oceanography lesson, students inquire how conductivity is used to approximate the salinity ocean water. Students construct their own conductivity meters and test solutions...
