Ocean Acidification

As part of our Inquiry learning about Sustainability this term we've been learning about the effects of climate change on our oceans. We learned that the ocean is warming and also absorbing too much carbon dioxide which over time will break down the shells of sea creatures and disrupt the whole ocean ecosystem which we depend on.
To explore this further we are doing an experiment to find out what the impact of carbon dioxide emissions is on our environment, particularly the ocean environment. We put 3 eggs in different solutions to see if anything happens. We put one egg in water, one in vinegar (to mimic the acidification of ocean water) and one in baking soda (as our control). It's been interesting to see the changes. Watch this space!
