Connect rising carbon dioxide with ocean pH, carbonate availability, and shell-building organism health.
This is a simplified educational model. Values update from the equations described in Model assumptions & science.
This browser-based ocean chemistry lab helps you connect rising carbon dioxide with ocean pH, carbonate availability, and shell-building organism health. Designed for Grades 6–12, it turns an abstract idea into a model you can control, measure, reset, and test without signing up.
Explore Ocean pH, carbon dioxide, carbonate, shell health by changing the available controls and comparing the model’s visual and numerical evidence. Try one variable at a time, then combine changes to test a stronger explanation.
A typical investigation takes 7–12 min. Use it as a lesson demonstration, a guided inquiry activity, a homework experiment, or a quick review. The simulation runs in a modern web browser and does not require an account.
Connect rising carbon dioxide with ocean pH, carbonate availability, and shell-building organism health. The main ideas are Ocean pH, carbon dioxide, carbonate, shell health.
Yes. You can run the simulation online for free without creating an account.
Most learners can complete one investigation in 7–12 min. You can repeat it to compare more variables or improve your explanation.
