Demonstrate to your middle school science learners how chalk breaks down in a weak acid. Discuss what affects acidic rain might have on ecosystems. Lab groups then choose one of two questions: "How does acid precipitation affect an...

Simulated acid rain, a dilute sulfuric acid solution, needs to be prepared for this demonstration. After a condensed lecture on acid rain, you will apply the solution to a sample of granite and a sample of limestone. Your young...

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. 

Most things naturally strive for balance, and acids and bases are no exception. Neutralization of acids and bases allows scholars to explore the color changes associated with the pH scale. After this exploration, pupils neutralize two...

Over a 10-year period, EPA regulations cost businesses less than $30 billion, while businesses saved over $82 billion. Scholars experiment with acids and bases to better understand the pH scale. Then they debate environmental regulation...

In this chemistry worksheet, students examine the given concept in order to apply in the laboratory setting. The sheet includes in depth background information.

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

Students identify substances that are acids and alkalis. In this acids and alkalis lesson, students conduct tests to determine if given substances are acids or alkalis. They test substances and explain the different qualities that make...

Seventh graders are able to demonstrate the harmful effects of an acidic solution. They become aware of the harmful effects of acid rain. Students make predictions before they began the experiment. If vingegar contains acid, then how...

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...

Future scientists are introduced to the chemical consequences of burning fossil fuels, learning that fossil fuel combustion leads to the formation of oxides of three nonmetals: carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur, all of which end up in the...

Do antacid tablets really do what they claim? An experimental activity attempts to answer this question. Individuals practice the process of titration during the first part of the experiment. They then use those skills to neutralize an...

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

In this synthesis of organic compounds worksheet, students show the steps used to make compounds using toluene, benzene, straight chain carboxylic acid and alkyl halide. They include reagents needed and they show all structures in their...

You won't get a stomachache doing an investigative experiment. Pupils simulate the effect of antacids on stomach acid. Obviously, they won't be using real stomach acid; diluted hydrochloric acid serves this purpose.

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...

Titration experiments don't have to give your high schoolers a stomachache. Study the ways to titrate an acide with a base in an engaging science experiment, which involves creating solutions and performing titrations. Pupils...

Middle schoolers participate in an experiment to become aware of the harmful effects of an acidic solution -- acid rain.

Students recognize whether a solution is an acid or a base. In this acids and bases lesson plan, students use chemicals and identify if those chemicals are acids or bases. From the conclusion, students will be able to identify if the...

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.

Young scholars analyze the level of acid and base in a titration. In this chemistry lesson, students investigate the amount of acid and base required to create certain household chemicals. They perform this activity without the use of...

Students collect data on causes of Acid Rain. In this science lesson, students simulate the effects that produce acid rain, collect and analyze data from their samples. They relate science and statistics in this lesson.  

In this pH worksheet, young scholars experiment with dilutions of acidic solutions to test for the pH using cabbage as an indicator. They then test a variety of substances for pH. On day two of the lab, they test conductivity of...

Students investigate the acidity of foods using titration. In this acidity of foods lesson plan, students find the acid concentration of 4 fruit juices by titrating them each with sodium hydroxide and an indicator to find the end point. ...
