Objectifs et résultats

Describe the pathways through which pollutants from land-based activities, such as farming, enter freshwater and marine ecosystems .
Analyse the chemical changes that occur in aquatic environments when common agricultural pollutants are introduced and explain their short- and long-term effects .
Explain the causes of ocean acidification, including the contribution of agricultural practices, and assess its ecological and socio-economic consequences .
Summarise and interpret the main ideas and supporting details of a journalistic article on ocean acidification and communicate the key findings to a target audience using appropriate language .
Evaluate the roles and responsibilities of individuals, agricultural industries, policymakers, and scientists in mitigating the impact of farming on water chemistry and debate possible solutions through group discussions .

Arrière-plan

Teaching about water chemistry is important because it connects key science topics, such as chemical reactions, ecosystems, climate change, and human impacts on the environment, that are part of most secondary school curricula.
Exploring how the ocean absorbs carbon dioxide and how processes like acidification and eutrophication occur helps students apply core chemistry and biology concepts to real-world challenges .
It encourages critical thinking about global sustainability, environmental stewardship, and the vital role oceans play in supporting life on Earth .
