A single page provides you with lecture notes for your lesson on hydrolysis. Introduce your chemistry class to Bronsted-Lowry theory by explaining the hydrolysis of acidic cations and basic anions. Show them how the resulting pH can be...

Students explore the use of acid and base pH indicators. The teacher saturates an indicator sponge with congo red solution. Afterwards, the sponge is placed in a blue base solution. Students observe that the blue sponge actually turns...

In this titrations activity, students answer 4 questions about titrations and solve for the pH of solutions and their concentrations. They determine the quantity of a base needed to neutralize an acid.

At some point, all science learners experiment with pH. In this brief lesson plan, they simply use pH strips or a meter to find the pH of six different solutions. A useful worksheet that displays a data chart is included for your students.

Students wxplore acids and indicators by watching a demostration in which "magic" ink appears. They duplicate the demonstration by writing magic messages using phenolphthalein solution and painting the message with vinegar to show it.

Young scholars describe characteristics and common uses of acids and bases. They describe the role of natural indicators in the chemistry of acids and bases after testing and making observations on a variety of plant extracts. Students...

In this acids and bases worksheet, learners use a word bank to complete 33 fill in the blank questions about the Acids and Bases movie found on the website www.brainpop.com

In this acids and bases activity, students conduct an experiment to determine if solutions are electrolytic or nonelectrolytic. After completing the experiment, students answer 1 short answer question.

Students recognize whether a solution is an acid or a base. In this acids and bases lesson plan, students use chemicals and identify if those chemicals are acids or bases. From the conclusion, students will be able to identify if the...

Pupils explore acids and bases and the process of neutralization.T hey practice volume measurements and observe the neutralization of an acid directly through bubble formation and indirectly through indicator color changes.

Students study acids and how they can be measured.  In this acid lesson students distinguish the properties that create strong and weak electrolytes. 

Learners use a pH indicator to measure the pH of some fruits, common beverages, and borax. Students discover how to differentiate between an object that is an acid or a base.

Titration, and the lab skills that are needed to support it, is detailed here, with the reasoning behind standard solutions, concentration and volumetric analysis covered. Your young lab assistants will learn the skills of determining...

Eighth graders experiment what happens when acids and bases are mixed together. In this acids and bases experimental lesson plan, 8th graders decide which of three solutions of unknown pH will neutralize a fourth solution of unknown pH....

Why are acids and bases important in our daily lives? Lead the class in answering this question, among others, as they experiment with pH paper and classify where various substances belong on the pH scale. They also taste common acids...

DNA writes 64 different words but only codes for 20 different amino acids. Budding scientists learn about where each of these numbers come from and why they aren't equal with an online interactive. The resource explains the research, the...

Pupils puzzled over pH? Incorporate an interactive resource that teaches through games! Chemistry scholars use reasoning to solve puzzles that focus on determining the pH based upon hydrogen ion concentration.

Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh that one is the fastest. The teacher demonstration is the second part of a four-part series. The class observes how different pill types dissolve in simulated stomach acid. They determine which one dissolves...

Why do the bases in DNA pair up the way they do? Unravel the mystery of the double helix in a virtual lab. Young scientists follow in the footsteps of Watson and Crick to determine the free energy associated with DNA base pair binding....

Students analyze the level of acid and base in a titration. In this chemistry lesson, students investigate the amount of acid and base required to create certain household chemicals. They perform this activity without the use of burets.

For this acids and bases worksheet, students list the differences between and acid and a base. Students list strong and weak acids and strong and weak bases. Students determine the properties of acids and bases. This worksheet has 1...

In this acid and base worksheet, students classify compounds as acids or bases and write down its equation. Students calculate pH of chemical compounds. This worksheet has 14 problems to solve.

Students become aware of the environmental problems caused by acid rain and study the pH scale. They determine acidity of local rain water.

Eighth graders, in groups, take on the role of either Biologist, Chemist, Health Scientist, or Economist. They complete a webquest in which they must decide what to do about a problem concerning the effects of acid rain. They make a...
