Use these tips to link UN sustainable development goal 14 to your lessons on dissolved ions, acids and the pH scale
Resource
The pH scale and the chemistry of ocean acidification | 14–16 years
Worksheet to develop understanding of the pH scale and apply it in the context of ocean acidification. Extension questions provide more challenge on carbonic acid and acid base equilibrium, leading to a research task on the consequences for marine organisms.
