"Stephanie Keske does computer visualization work, and is starting a graduate program this fall at Texas A&M University. She told me, "Just living on a ship, I think … you know, I try to be outside as much as I can so just being trapped on a floating hunk of metal is maybe going to be a little difficult. I don't know: I've never been in one place with an inability to leave it for 2 months solid." At the moment, Keske's in the northeast Pacific onboard an oceanographic research vessel. She and six other educators and artists from the US and France are working with the science team to do unprecedented outreach. Have a listen."

Deep Earth Academy Teaching for Science - Learning for Life Deep Earth Academy facilitates and develops programs and materials based on scientific ocean drilling expeditions and Earth Systems Science to strengthen students' science, mathematics, and analytical skills. Our approach includes use of authentic data, inquiry-centered activities and interdisciplinary explorations drawing from the adventures of the JOIDES Resolution ship and the earlier ocean drilling ship; the Glomar Challenger.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted to the atmosphere by human activities is being absorbed by the oceans, making them more acidic (lowering the pH the measure of acidity).

The Inter-Academy Panel on International Issues (or IAP) has today launched a statement signed by 100 of the world's leading science academies calling for ocean acidification to be placed on the agenda for the UNFCCC talks being held in Bonn over the next two weeks.

how do you describe and talk about acids, bases, and pH?

OCEANSP@CE, Issue 127, Monday, April 4, 1999

Objective: Students will learn significance of scientific testing and how scientists get results and information. They will learn about acids and bases in relation to the environment and people.

upper elementary Student Objectives: Students will be able to… - Identify that pH is a term used by scientists. - Respond that some tastes of food are related to pH. - Indicate that a scale is used to indicate pH intensity. - Indicate that there are acids and bases on this scale. - Identify the pH of a liquid by using pH test strips.
