Add ocean acidification to your existing lessons

Many of the UN’s sustainable development goals are relevant to chemistry teaching for the age ranges 14–16 and 16–18. Goal 14: conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources can easily fit into your existing teaching of dissolved ions, acids and the pH scale. This article gives ideas for relevant context and suggests resources and activities to include the goal within your teaching. Download the accompanying resource for a worksheet suitable for age range 14–16 on the pH scale and the chemistry of ocean acidification.
