-
Begin the activity by having the students watch a 10-minute video about atmospheric acidification. This could be a video from NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), or any other educational source.
-
After the video, have the students discuss the effects of atmospheric acidification in small groups. Encourage them to consider how it affects different species, how it changes weather patterns, and how it contributes to global climate change.
-
Next, have each group create a poster presenting their findings. The groups should also come up with ideas on how to reduce the effects of atmospheric acidification.
-
After the groups have finished their posters, have each group present their poster to the class. Give each group around 5 to 10 minutes to present their poster and encourage class discussion.
-
Once the presentations are done, have the students choose one of the solutions they came up with and take action. This could be anything from writing a letter to a government official, organizing a petition, or doing outreach to their friends and family.
-
Give the students time to brainstorm and come up with details for their action plan. Each group should decide on a goal, timeline, and a plan for implementing and following up on their efforts.
-
Once the students have finished their action plans, have each group present their plan to the class.
-
Finally, have the students reflect on what they have learned, and their role in the future of the planet. Encourage them to think about their own individual impact, and what can be done to reduce the effects of atmospheric acidification and global climate change.
