Acid Rain Lesson Plan Activity 2 - Understanding the Difference Between an Acid And a Base
Young scholars 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.

Making A Natural pH Indicator
Students make their own pH indicator from red cabbage. Red cabbage contains a chemical that turns from its natural deep purple color to red in acids and blue in bases. Students boil the cabbage to get the pH indicator.

TE Activity: Tears in Rain
Young scholars examine photographs before writing captions for them. They develop visual literacy as they see how photographs are manipulated to show the effects of acid rain. They rewrite the photo captions after a class discussion.
Curated OER
What is pH and Why is It Important?
Students investigate about acids, bases, and pH and relate this information to the problem of acid deposition. They use pH paper, students test common household substances to determine whether they are acidic, basic, or neutral. Pupils...
