7 Car Exhaust Demo Materials Access to a Car Exhaust Funnel (cheaper substitute: Index Folder) Large Tubing to fit Funnel (cheaper substitute: Hose) Large Beaker (cheaper substitute: Bucket) Distilled Water or Seawater pH Indicator Dye (BTB or Phenol Red) Scripps Classroom Connection http://earthref/SCC

8 Ocean Acidification Balloon Lab Materials Balloons Straws (cut in half) Small Rubber Bands 250 mL Beakers Seawater pH Indicator Dye Tape Measures Calculators Scripps Classroom Connection http://earthref/SCC

9 Ocean CO 2 Chemistry CO 2 H2OH2OCO 3 2- + 2H + HCO 3 - + H+H+ + Scripps Classroom Connection http://earthref/SCC

10 Seawater pH Measure of a solution’s acidity Few H + = High pH = Basic Lots of H + = Low pH = Acidic SW Scripps Classroom Connection http://earthref/SCC

11 Ocean Acidification CO 2 H2OH2OCO 3 2- + 2H + HCO 3 - + H+H+ + Seawater pH Scripps Classroom Connection http://earthref/SCC

12 Candle Ocean Acidification Demo Materials Two wide, shallow glass dishes Tea Candles (3) Match/Lighter pH Indicator Dye Distilled Water or Tap Water Scripps Classroom Connection
