- Join to access all included materials
Combat ocean acidification with bubbles. Young engineers create a system that reduces the acidity of water. Dry ice in water helps simulate ocean acidity, and blowing bubbles into the water results in a gas exchange that neutralizes the acidity to create a visually stimulating activity that helps scholars better understand the concept.
