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.

These resources include practical activities...

A multiple choice quiz on oceans for AS/A level  chemistry.

Although it is written for OCR AS/A level chemistry (Salters) H033/H433 course, it can be edited to suit your scheme of work.

The aim of this investigation is to see the variation of current with applied voltage for two bulbs and compare with Ohm’s Law.  The ones recommended here are a 12V lamp and a small neon bulb.  You can then plot graphs of resistance against voltage to compare the two.
