Students explore acids, bases and salts. They define acid and base. Students describe the characteristics and properties of acids and bases. They relate the processes of ionization and dissociation to the formation of acids and bases.

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...

In a hypothetical scenario, food chemists use titration to concoct a brine solution for producing the crunchiest pickles. They also analyze store-bought pickle juices. In addition to reinforcing titration techniques, the lesson requires...

Seventh graders investigate acids and bases. In this acids and bases instructional activity, 7th graders use household items such as coffee, lemons and soap to define acids and bases. They observe a demonstration to show how indicators...

What did one titration say to the other titration? We should meet at the end point! Young chemists perform four experiments: dilute solution, neutralization, titration, and figuring pH/pOH. 

Using cabbage juice as a pH indicator, future scientists explore the effect of increasing carbon dioxide on the pH of the ocean and relate it to the health of coral reefs. Ideal for an earth or environmental sciences course, this lesson...

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...

A single page provides you with lecture notes for your lesson on hydrolysis. Introduce your chemistry class to Bronsted-Lowry theory by explaining the hydrolysis of acidic cations and basic anions. Show them how the resulting pH can be...

Students titrate a sample of fatty acids with standardized sodium hydroxide solution. From the amount of base needed for neutralization and the mass of sample used for titration, the apparent average molar mass of the sample is...

Learners investigate the strength of acids and bases experimentally. They answer the question, "How can pH be used to determine possible product tampering?" by testing acids and bases with litmus paper.

Eighth graders study the concepts of acids, bases, salts and neutralization. They discuss steam adoption program, acid rain and other ecological implications. They use indicators to obtain pH values of household chemicals and to...

Students test the pH of everyday substances. In this chemistry lesson plan, students test the pH of household substances using litmus paper to classify substances as acids or bases, then use pH to test the validity of the claim that dock...

Students explore acids and bases and the process of neutralization.T hey practice volume measurements and observe the neutralization of an acid directly through bubble formation and indirectly through indicator color changes.

Students explore DNA. They work in groups and mix prepared detergent/ salt solution, meat tenderizer solution, Fleischman's yeast and water to extract DNA from yeast. Observations are recorded.

How are chemical bonds similar and how are they different? Provide your young chemists with the resources to more thoroughly understand the concepts of ionic and covalent bonds. Pupils research these topics, diagram examples of each...

Do you think chromatography paper suffers from separation anxiety? Young chemists make soap, slime, silly putty, and experiment with chromatography in this lesson. The material includes clear instructions for each experiment along with...

Students study acids and how they can be measured.  In this acid lesson students distinguish the properties that create strong and weak electrolytes. 

A total of five experiments lead chemistry pros to understand the difference between physical and chemical change. They also experiment with exothermic reaction factors that affect rate of reaction. The procedures are not written in the...

Students experiment with household solutions and classify them as a base or acid.  In this exploratory lesson students complete a lab where they test products to see if they are an acid or a base. 

Pupils examine how mining and other industry operations can lead to acid runoff.  In this mining lesson plan students study weathering and complete a lab on it. 

Students comprehend the interactions of pH, alkalinity, hardness, and carbon dioxide in aquaculture water. They read the SRAC fact sheet number 464 "Interactions of pH, Carbon Dioxide, Alkalintiy and Hardness in Fish Ponds." Students...

At some point, all science learners experiment with pH. In this brief lesson, they simply use pH strips or a meter to find the pH of six different solutions. A useful worksheet that displays a data chart is included for your students.

Uncover the basics of DNA structure through exploration activities. Collaborative groups build DNA models and recreate the process of replication. Then, using plant cells such as peas or strawberries, they extract a DNA sample.

Students observe the pH change of an acid mixture poured over soil in a filter. Since the buffering capability of soils differs, you may want to do this experiment with several different soil types.
