Link to site on Ocean Acidification in the Cordel Bank website: []

A subset of this group of APES teachers are also part of the Lawrence Hall of Science Climate Change Education group and so we have created a sister site specific to climate change: ===LHS Climate Change Education Wikispace for California Teachers===

From: Vicky Osis RE: Ocean Acidification and other labs I discovered this resource decided its worth sharing. @http://dataintheclassroom.org/ Developed by NOAA, National Estuarine Sanctuareis, National oceanographic Data Center and Integrated Ocean Observatory. Includes activities on El Nino, Sea Level, Water Quality and Ocean Acidity. This curriculum incorporates a scaled approach to learning. Each module offers activities at five different levels of student interaction, sometimes referred to as Entry, Adoption, Adaptation, Interactivity, and Invention. The early levels are very directed and teacher driven. The levels of Adaptation through Invention are more student directed and open up opportunities to design lessons featuring student inquiry. The advanced levels use real data which is available on the website.

The NRDC has a short film – Acid Test: The Global Challenge of Ocean Acidification [] =====

A recent National Geographic has an article on Ocean Acidification.
