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...

Learn how an acidic solution is neutralized.

A lab experiment designed to find the enthalpy of neutralization for a reaction. Includes a good discussion of what a neutralization reaction is.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students will understand and differentiate among acid-base reactions, precipitation reactions, and oxidation-reduction reactions.

Explains neutralization, and includes some sample problems about predicting products of such reactions.

This is a group of Mendelian Genetics exercises that are designed to show the evolution of a trait within a population. The site covers instruction in calculating genotypic and allelic frequencies, determining dominance, the...

Students will complete a procedure to find the solution that has the greatest amount of acid by comparing the amount of the acids in different solutions. This lab activity compares the amount of acid in differents solutions in a...

A good reference page for anyone studying polyatomic ions. Tables included on this page organize polyatomic ions by family and by charge. Information on naming compounds with polyatomic ions is also provided. There is a link to an online...

A concise tutorial that explains titrations and provides some practice problems with answers.

A brief description of the sinking of the Lusitania and why that occurance eventurally broke down American neutrality, and the United States finally entered World War I.

A look at American neutrality at the start of World War I, its favoring of the allies, and the reasons the United States entered the war in 1917.

Learners 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...

Did you know that soils can be alkaline, neutral, or acidic? Most plants grow best in soil near neutral pH, but some plants prefer slightly acidic and others slightly alkaline soil. What is the pH of the soil in your garden? What happens...

Students learn about filibusters and how and why senators use them, then they take a look at how news coverage of a filibuster can be transformed through neutral, positive, or negative framing.

Thomas Jefferson tried to retain American neutrality in relations with France and Great Britain, who were at war with each other. Read about the Embargo Act and its effect on the American economy. See how other acts enacted in the...

Nehru was the first prime minister of an independent India. This short biography explains his path to power and beliefs known as "positive neutrality".

The story of the dye industry is used to introduce pH and how it is measured and calculated.

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.

At this site you will find a step by step process for making a natural pH indicator. One of the main materials you need to have on hand is a red cabbage.

In this science fair project, measure the "lift" of a set of balloons and track how it changes over time as the helium escapes from the balloons. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract,...

On this site from Chemguide, the titration curves for various acid-base combinations (weak acid/strong base, strong acid/strong base, etc.) are talked about with examples of each given.

Each amino acid has at least one amine and one acid functional group as the name implies. The different properties result from variations in the structures of different R groups. The R group is often referred to as the amino acid side...

Students form expert engineering teams working for the (fictional) alternative energy consulting firm, Greenewables, Inc. Each team specializes in a form of renewable energy used to generate electrical power: passive solar, solar...

Help 5th through 7th graders explore the power of words and their capacity to influence our thinking with this lesson from the Media Awareness Network. An easy-to-print .pdf version is linked from the top of the page.
