  • Join to access all included materials

Investigating pH is intriguing, especially with these activities designed for an introductory chemistry or physical science class. Pupils use litmus paper to distinguish acids and bases and then make indicators from food products. They craft indicator strips that can be taken home and used to test household materials. This is a quality resource that is particularly helpful if you are new to teaching science.
