I was an intern last year. I didn't always have the time to look at the files of other teachers at 10pm at night. LessonPlanet saved me so many times I've lost count. I would look all over other websites for quality lesson plans and, no surprise, I always ended up here.

Sixth graders correctly identify items as acids or bases by using a pH test, list the common properties of acids and bases and explain the pH scale.
Eighth graders define the pH scale, acids and bases. They distinguish between acidic and basic solutions using litmus paper. Students review simple chemical formulas. They define the subscript and coefficient in terms of chemical formulas.
Students list the common properties of acids and bases. They classify substances as acids or bases, by using pH and litmus tests and are able to explain the pH scale. They participate in a lab activity which reinforce their understanding.
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 color change and compare it to the ph scale associating it with and acid or a base. They fill in a color, acids, and bases sheet for assessment.
Fourth graders make cabbage water to test color change when acids and bases are added to it. They observe the colors of the pH scale and associate certain colored litmus paper with acids or bases.
Students describe the pH scale and its components. They explain why a pH measurement must be accurate and why small changes in pH are important. They taste test a variety of food items and record their observations.
Students conduct an experiment to test acids and bases. In this pH scale instructional activity, students learn to identify acids and bases by testing common household substances using a pH indicator. The students will conduct the experiment with the PH indicator and record the results.
Eighth graders explain the difference between acids, bases and neutral solutions. In this chemistry lesson, 8th graders describe the properties of each. They determine the pH of an unknown solution using the indicator paper and pH scale.
Students experiment to determine the difference between an acid and a base. They study the concept of adding a buffering agent to make an acid more basic. They study the pH scale.
Ninth graders investigate acids and bases. In this pH lesson, 9th graders test, observe, and discuss natural acids, bases and the pH scale. Students will construct a KLH chart and then use litmus paper to test an acid, base, and water. This lesson includes instructional tips, differentiated instruction, several extensions, and necessary attachments.
