Instructional Ideas

• Have the class label the reactants and products shown in the example problems as proton donors, proton acceptors, conjugate acids, or conjugate bases
  

Classroom Considerations

• Review properties of acids and bases to prepare for the video
• Makes a great introduction to acid-base theories and the properties of acids and bases

• This video is hosted on YouTube

Pros

• The narrator shows simple ways to identify substances with each acid-base theory
• Illustrations allow learners to visualize the components of each reaction in terms of their identities as conjugate acids or bases
  

Cons

• None
