Instructional Ideas

  • Research if the foods we eat are typically acids or bases and why
  • Some flowers and shrubs change color when their soil is changed from acid to base or base to acid; research which ones and what reactions occur

Classroom Considerations

  • Follow all lab safety guidelines
  • The fifth lesson in a series of eight

Pros

  • Provides answers for discussion questions
  • Includes step-by-step instructions for both experiments

Cons

  • Does not include differentiation strategies
