Sources for Science of the News: Ocean Acidification

Hello everyone!  This is the sources list for my ocean acidification video, found here ! News Report:  http://www.wcsh6.com/story/news/local/augusta-waterville/2015/02/05/ocean-acidification-state-report/22948213/ Report Published by the State of Maine:  http://www.maine.gov/legis/opla/Oceanacidificationreport.pdf Dissolving: Chemistry: The Central Science Chapter 2 Scientific Papers: “Anthropogenic Ocean Acidification over the Twenty-First Century and its Impacts on Calcifying Organism”; Orr, J.C. et al; Science; 437; 2005; p. 681-686 “The Ocean Sink for Anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide”; Sabine, C.L. et. al.; Ecience; 305; 2004; p. 367-371

Chemicals Video Sources

These are the sources for my video on the scientific definition of the term chemical, seen here . The colloquial definition of the word chemical comes from wiktionary , which defines chemicals as "an artificial chemical compound".  There is of course a negative conotation about the definition seen in the example they provide (" I color my hair with henna, not chemicals ").  The non-colloquial, scientific definition of the word chemical comes from three text books: “Biology: A Guide to the Natural World Fifth Edition”; David Krogh; 978-0-321-61655-5; p. 22 “Chemistry: The Central Science 11th Edition”; Theodore L. Brown; 978-0-13-600617-6; p. 5 “Essentials of Geology 4th edition”; Stephen Marshak; 978-0-393-91939-4; p. 7 They all agree that a chemical is “matter that has distinct properties and a constant composition that does not vary from sample to sample and cannot be separated by physical means.”
