This field trip will compare how drinking soda compares to what Ocean Acidification is doing to our oceans. It starts with a Flipped Lesson on pH scale, and class demo's comparing acidic drinks to what acids in the ocean are doing to our Biodiversity and fish health.

<p><strong>Google Expeditions and Tour Creator are shutting down on June 30th, 2021. As all of our lessons are built on these two platforms, from this date our content will no longer be available.</strong></p> <p>In this lesson students will use Google Expeditions to study coral bleaching events in Haiwaii, American Samoa and Australia.</p> <p>The Expedition will develop students’ understanding of environmental change.</p> <p>Students will learn about the impact of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere on the marine environment and in particular the coral ecosystem.</p> <p>High CO2 has two impacts on the ocean: warming and ocean acidification. This virtual field trip shows the impact of warming oceans in terms of coral bleaching.</p>

This expedition focuses on the two roles Carbon Dioxide has as a pollutant in the ocean. In the air Carbon Dioxide acts as a greenhouse gas, trapping heat and increasing atmospheric temperatures. This, in turn, increases ocean temperatures which is the leading cause of coral bleaching. Carbon Dioxide also dissolves in the water creating Carbonic Acid. This lowers the pH of the water, leading to ocean acidification. <br /> <br /> This lesson includes class activities, demonstrations and expedition slides to showcase how the two roles of Carbon Dioxide are different, but both dangerous to biodiversity and ecosystem stability. A Google Doc lesson is attached in your download for easy use with Google Classroom. <br /> <br /> What is a Google Expedition: <br /> * Google Expeditions enable teachers to bring students on virtual trips to places — museums, underwater, outer space. Expeditions are collections of linked VR content and supporting materials that can be used alongside existing curriculum. <br /> <br /> *These trips are collections of virtual reality panoramas — 360° panoramas and 3D images — annotated with details, points of interest, and questions that make them easy to integrate into curriculum already used in schools.<br /> <br />

<p>These resources for ages 7-11 are based on the journeys undertaken by science teams taking part in the Catlin Seaview Survey expeditions. These resources present a complete scheme of work for the science classroom, covering core science and sustainability curriculum areas as well as enhancing students’ creative and communications skills.</p> <p>Science curriculum topics include:</p> <p>- habitats and how they provide the basic needs of plants and animals<br /> - identification, classification and the use of keys<br /> - life cycles, anatomy and sexual reproduction<br /> - how animals obtain their food using the idea of food chains<br /> - how animals and plants are adapted to their environment<br /> - human impact on the environment</p> <p>This project-based learning resource incorporates stunning multimedia resources and is based on recent expeditions to enable students to explore marine life on the reef and the threats facing it.</p>

Google Earth has over 50 layers of information and all are explained in this booklet, along with student activities designed to allow the student to explore each of the layers and track down the type of fascinating information that can be found on each layer.<br /> <br /> Layers are also given a value rating so that teachers can go directly to the most valuable layer with the most educational information.<br /> <br /> The booklet includes definitions and activities around the following Google Earth layers:<br /> - Borders and Labels<br /> - Photos<br /> - 3D Buildings<br /> - Ocean<br /> - Weather<br /> - Gallery<br /> - Global Awareness<br /> - and more<br /> <br /> Key points of interest are highlighted and quirky little tips are included.<br /> <br /> This is a true reference book for any student or teacher who works with Google Earth.<br /> <br /> 28 pages
