Ocean acidification is a complex problem affecting the world's ocean – it presents unique challenges in the areas of science, policy, management, and also in education – how can we effectively teach about it? This hands-on session will cover products developed by NOAA Coral Program and partners that help educators teach key scientific concepts behind ocean acidification while engaging audiences, and will walk through how to use and interpret real ocean acidification data, conduct interactive virtual experiments, and where to guide audiences so they can further explore the topic.
