Eighth graders define the pH scale, acids and bases. They distinguish between acidic and basic solutions using litmus paper. Students review simple chemical formulas. They define the subscript and coefficient in terms of chemical...

Students investigate acids, bases,and pH. They test the acidity and basicity of various household items using litmus paper. Using their results, they rank the substances according to pH and identify the contributing chemical on the label.

Here's proof that small-scale labs lead to big-time learning. Introduce acid-base interactions to middle school scientists through a microscale chemistry lab. Pupils combine a variety of solutions and use indicators to obtain approximate...

Learners list the common properties of acids and bases. They classify substances as acids or bases, by using pH and litmus tests and are able to explain the pH scale. They participate in a lab activity which reinforce their understanding.

Students investigate the pH of various solutions with indicators. In this acids, bases and indicators lesson plan, students use a variety of indicators to test solutions for their pH. Students determine which indicators are the best to...

Fifth graders perform tests to identify acids and bases.  In this chemistry lesson, 5th graders identify common household substances as acids or bases using cabbage juice indicator strips.

Acid rain, and how it affects the environment, is the focus of this Earth science lesson. During the study, learners evaluate measures to reduce acid rain, and design an investigation to demonstrate the conection between a hypothesis and...

Tenth graders distinguish between acids and bases. In this pH lesson, 10th graders view a PowerPoint and discuss the characteristics of an acid and a base. They investigate natural substances to determine the pH level of each.

Students investigate acids, bases, and pH, and related this knowledge to the problem of acid deposition.

Fourth graders compare the color of cabbage water when acids and bases are mixed in. In this acids and bases lesson plan, 4th graders use cabbage water and mix in acids and bases that the teacher prepares before hand. They observe the...

Explore the range of pH using an assortment of household liquids. Scholars create their own pH indicators from cabbage and determine the pH of several liquids. To further their exploration, individuals use the same liquids to create...

Learners become aware of the environmental problems caused by acid rain and study the pH scale. They determine acidity of local rain water.

Eighth graders explain the difference between acids, bases and neutral solutions. In this chemistry lesson, 8th graders describe the properties of each. They determine the pH of an unknown solution using the indicator paper and pH scale.

Students use supporting evidence to predict if common household substances are acids or bases. They determine the pH of the substances and describe the results of the investigation and characteristics of each substance.

Learners combine different materials to create chemical reactions. In this chemical reaction lesson plan, students will combine different materials to create chemical reactions and define these results as acids or bases. They will also...

Students examine the pH scale. They research common products and determine their pH level. They create their own pH scale and place their products in the appropriate place.

Students investigate the pH of solutions and they learn how to use different types of indicators. In this pH lesson plan, students test various solutions with pH paper and determine if they are acidic, basic or neutral. They also test...

Middle school environmentalists record the pH of four different liquids, including two aerosol cleaning products. They liken the products to acid rain and speculate in writing which might affect the human respiratory system. Although...

Students think of one way to detect photosynthesis in plants besides those ways shown in class. They identify the reaction that occurs during photosynthesis. Students define the difference between an acid and a base. They identify acidic...

Students study acid and bases and how they fall on the pH scale. In this solutions lesson students complete a lob activity using litmus then fill out a data table.

Learners experiment to determine the difference between an acid and a base. They study the concept of adding a buffering agent to make an acid more basic. They study the pH scale.

Students explore pH levels of different substances. In this lesson about pH, students work together in three to four groups to test substances. moving between three different stations performing tests on the substances to determine...

Students explore acids, bases, and indicators. They observe the various colors of an acid-base indicator solution and the neutralization of an acidic solution by an antacid.

Students understand the dynamics of acid rain and its impact on the living and non-living environment. They hypothesize how acid rain affects water pH levels in two lake systems with differing watershed features.
