A collection of various resources, from the Association for Science Education (ASE), set in the context of sea, the moon and chemistry of the oceans. The resources are part of the SYCD: Science Year Is There Life? collection.

'All at sea? The chemistry of the oceans' is a very attractive ten-page booklet...

Many sea creatures such as crabs and shell fish are affected greatly by the levels of acid and temperatures of the ocean they live in as it prevents their outer shell development. This can lead to a depletion in numbers and a knock on effect along the food chain.
