EPOCA and CarboSchools hands-on experiments on ocean acidification
What do we do? - News

Learning the main facts about ocean acidification, watching movies, reading scientists' blogs from the Arctic may raise curiosity a lot on this topic - but going further into understanding the phenomena involved gains a lot from actually experimenting these phenomena.

In this perspective EPOCA and CarboSchools joined forces to test and describe hands-on experiments for science teachers interested to illustrate ocean acidification in their classrooms. This web page introduces 13 experiments, generally designed for pupils from 10 to 18 years old, potentially adaptable to any age group within that range as well as for museum presentations.
