pH and pOH

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This pH and pOH interactive also includes:
  • pH and pOH (.pdf)
  • pH and pOH—Answer Key (.pdf)
  • Join to access all included materials

Feeling a little neutral about your pH and pOH teaching strategy? Perk it up with engaging puzzles! Young scientists relate ion concentration to pH and pOH, as well as the dissociation constant for water. The resource is available as an online interactive or as a worksheet.

Instructional Ideas

  • Use the puzzles to illustrate the relationship between acids, bases, and water
  • Have pupils research to find examples of common solutions at each pH they calculate

Classroom Considerations

  • Learners should be familiar with logarithmic calculations before attempting the activity

Pros

  • The resource helps students begin to work with dissociation constants, making it a great bridge to that lesson
  • A convenient Teacher's Area contains information to guide you through implementing the activity

Cons

  • None
