In the experiments of this activity students learn how to turn water into an acid by introducing carbon dioxide and how to neutralise the solution back to water. This is an analogy of what happens on Earth, when water is exposed to the main greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, causing a threat to marine species and of life on Earth.
