Gases
Ocean Explorers Week Skit
A science class at a local middle school has asked your class to present during their Ocean Explorers Week. You need to create a short skit that illustrates the important roles gases play in a healthy ocean ecosystem. Each character in your skit should portray one of the important dissolved gases in seawater.
For this assignment, use your imagination to write a creative and entertaining skit that clearly informs students about the role of dissolved gases in maintaining a healthy ocean ecosystem. Write a 1-2 minute skit that describes how the gases interact and the ways in which they affect various properties of the ocean environment.
For each dissolved gas character, you must include:
- Its full name
- Its main function(s) in seawater
- The process(es) that lead to its formation
Make sure to provide complete scene descriptions and clearly-identified characters for the three dissolved gases in seawater that you learned about in this topic.
