Identifying Acids and Bases
Sixth graders observe the physical and chemical change that can occur in an acid and a base. In this acids and bases lesson plan, 6th graders use cabbage juice to identify, compare, and contrast acids and bases.
Curated OER
Determining pH
Young scholars evaluate pH levels through a solubility experiment. In this pH levels lesson, students list characteristics of acids and bases. Young scholars complete their own pH level experiment. Students go to the GEMS Alien Juice Bar...
Curated OER
Chemical Magic
Students identify acids and bases. In this chemistry lesson plan, students use red cabbage juice as an indicator of whether the liquid is an acid or base. Students discuss the results.
