Next Blog Check

1. Ocean Acidification (see this video if missed) - how CO2 gets in the ocean, how it makes it acidic, how it is measured, how it potentially affects oceanic life
2. Disappearing Ink - how does it work, what is a pH indicator, how does this connect to ocean acidification ​

Third Blog Check (due Nov 11):

1. Phases of Matter (Dry Ice Activity) - what are the phases, the phase change diagram, effects of pressure and temperature on the phases
2. Properties of Matter (Floating Candles) - how do they work, buoyancy, density, pressure (if missed, please check this document for information)
3. Phases of Matter II (Making Rocks) - phases of matter inside out of Earth, metal silicate reactions, silicate rocks.  If missed, please see Andrew to perform this experiment, or to do a bismuth crystallization lab.
