Chemistry Classes to Begin Oceans Study
March 2, 2009 | | Leave a Comment
During the month of march, Chemistry classes will be engaged in a project that will investigate changes in the ocean that may be linked with global climate change. Some of the questions we will be addressing:
- is ocean chemistry changing, especially pH?
- are chemistry changes affecting the oceanic food chain?
-are coral reefs endangered?
We will investigate these topics through laboratory work and web-based activities and research.
