Students investigate the acidity and alkalinity of common household products in an experiment. They use red cabbage juice and litmus paper to show the difference between strong acids and bases as they work with vinegar, dish washing...

In this chemistry worksheet, students determine which compound is the most acidic in each multiple choice question. Then they determine what the major product would be in each of the reactions stated on the sheet.

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 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...

Young scholars study acidic and alkaline balance. In this acid and pH levels lesson, students read information about pH, the formation of acid rain and its impact on environments. Young scholars then complete an experiment to learn...

Students test various liquids and identify as acids or bases. In this chemistry and pH lesson, the students use purple cabbage indicator to test a variety of teacher-provided substances, then bring in liquids from home to test acidity....

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...

Students determine whether everyday consumables are acidic or bases. They investigate, in groups, the difference between acids and bases. They determine which substance tested would be most effective in treating heartburn and why.

Litmus paper, why so blue? A chemistry lesson includes a pre-lab activity, practice calculating pH, an experiment measuring the pH in acids and bases, a titration demonstration, and a titration experiment. 

Fifth graders study how respiration and circulation are connected.  In this respiratory lesson students complete several activities to better understand heart rate and carbon dioxide in the body. 

Students review properties of materials and define what pH tells them about matter.  In this pH levels lesson, students determine whether materials are acids or bases using indicator substances.

Students explore what chemical indicators are and use pH paper to determine if something is alkaline or basic.  In this pH lesson students manufacture their own soap.

Students recognize and use chemical indicators in the lab, recognize the need for safety while doing chemical experiments and understand the need for following precise directions.

Students observe the effects of acid rain on plants. They simulate an experiment using vinegar or lemon water. They observe the impact of acids on plants and recognize how acid rain can affect the environment. They examine their plants...

Students investigate the differences in chemistry between an acid and a base substance. They conduct measurements based upon the pH scale and then answer the questions included in the lesson. The information for the lesson is included in...

Students determine and explain the characteristics of alkalis and acids. With their list of characteristics student groups conduct an investigation into whether various household substances are alkali or acid. Their lab findings are...

Students determine the pH level of water and its effect on aquatic plants and brine shrimp eggs. This is a three part lesson that leads the student through the development of an understanding of water pH. They form a hypothesis and are...

Students test the pH of various solutions. In this pH lesson, students use litmus paper to test the pH of household solutions. They compare their results with book charts.

Students use purple cabbage indicator to test five know substances for acidic/alkaline balance. They discuss the safety precautions required both inside and outside a lab in handling acids and bases.

Students explore the concept of titration. In this titration lesson, students observe acid and alkaline reacting. Students discuss pH factor, measuring acidity, neutrality, and alkalinity of liquids. Students put the pH of liquids on a...

High schoolers study the pH scale and sources of acid precipitation.  In this acid rain lesson students complete a lab on acid rain then complete a handout.

Middle schoolers participate in a science lab to determine the pH of three different soil samples. Students conduct an experiment by creating a question, a hypothesis and then an investigation of soil samples. Then they compare colors...

Fifth graders conduct experiments to compare seed germination and plant growth rates. They construct a hydroponic plant unit and a lighthouse. They care for the plants for a month and collect data for graphs. They write a report.

Students define the term acid rain, and the causes of acid rain. They locate regions where acid rain is most affected, and what can students deduce from maps of geology and soils in New York State. Students answer the questions why are...
