Students research chemical formulas and balance chemical equations.  In this chemical equations lesson plan students complete a class activity on chemical equations and answer questions.

Ninth graders are presented with a problem that has to be solved. The scenario is a mystery that is purely hypothetical. This does draw on the knowledge of previous lessons. The lesson plan contains background knowledge explaining the...

Students apply the scientific method and safety rules to aquatic pH. They test unknown solutions for pH levels.

Students separate a mixture of pigments with ion exchange chromatography and predict whether the ion-exchange matrix is positively or negatively charged based on the type of pigment bonded to the matrix.

In this household chemicals instructional activity, students fill in 10 blanks with answers about testing household materials. Students must also fill out a data table about what color each material turns when placed in cabbage juice....

Students observe what occurs when Alka Seltzer tablets are added to water. They explain why water stays in the jar when it is above the surface of the water. Pupils test for the presence of carbon dioxide by conduting the match test.

In this calorimetry learning exercise, students determine the specific heat of an unknown liquid. Students calculate the change in enthalpy for given reactions. This learning exercise has 20 problems to solve.

Fifth graders investigate evidence for changes in matter that occur during a chemical reaction.

Students explore chemical solutions. In this chemistry lesson, students investigate the relationship between three related experiments about solutions. Students determine variables that affect the chemical concentration of each solution.

This site presents everything you need to know about acids and bases and more! Gives a nice description on what acids and bases are, properties of both, strong and weak acids and bases, an overview of pH, and much more.

An explanation of historical ideas that lead to the current day concepts of acids and bases. The Concept of pH is briefly introduced.

Learners will use citric acid and sodium carbonate solutions to see that adding a base to an acidic solution makes the solution less acidic. Students will then use a base to help them identify which of two acidic solutions is more...

A lab activity where students will neutralize and acidic solution with a base and a basic solution with an acid by using their knowledge of a red cabbage indicator. This site includes teacher and student instruction for the lab activity...

ZOOM cast members mix different amounts of baking soda and vinegar to see which combination produces the most carbon dioxide for launching a film-canister rocket. [3:23]

Click the basic questions regarding acids, bases, and pH to view the answers. There are sections on basic concepts, buffer solutions, pH calculation, equilibrium constants, indicators, neutralization reactions, and titrations.

In this lesson plan on exploring acids and bases, learners will explore the pH scale and how is it related to acids and bases by learning key vocabulary terms and visuals related to the chemical process of neutralization.

This Chem4Kids site provides a general overview of acids and bases, and their use in chemistry. Content focuses on "names to know" and how acids and bases work.

Acting as an overview from the General Chemistry Virtual Textbook, this site explores neutralization in relation to acids and bases. Formulas and examples are also provided.

As a chemist, you will learn to deal with complex mixtures of many compounds. In this interactive activity, you will learn the basis of separations using acid-base extraction. In the virtual lab you will simulate an actual experiment and...

Understand the definition of Bronsted-Lowry acids and bases, strong and weak acids and bases, and how to identify conjugate acid-base pairs.

This lesson focuses on acids and alkalis including acidic and alkaline solutions, neutral solutions, indicators and the pH scale, the colors for litmus paper, and a link to a test.

Bases are substances that can react with acids and neutralize them. Alkalis are bases that are soluble in water. The pH scale measures how acidic or alkaline a substance is. Substances with a pH lower than 7 are acidic, those with a pH...

Acids and bases are scaled. These facts are good knowledge to have when classifying solutions as acidic, basic, or neutral.

Young scholars are introduced to acids and bases, and the environmental problem of acid rain. They explore ways to use indicators to distinguish between acids and bases. Students also conduct a simple experiment to model and discuss the...
