Hello! I have an assignment this week but I don't understand how to create a controlled experiment and can't come up with any ideas yet. The question is the following: What do climate change and ocean acidification have in common? Design a controlled experiment to test the hypothesis that water acidification caused by acid rain would inhibit the growth of Acropora, a reef-building coral. Thanks in advance!
