Instructional Ideas

• Use a universal indicator to test if acids are strong or weak

Classroom Considerations

• Requires prior knowledge of what makes something acidic and moles
• Video best works as a review due to the pacing
• Video is the sixth in a series of 21

Pros

• Provides many everyday examples of strong and weak acids
• Includes the origin of the word acid, from the Latin acer

Cons

• The solution to the practice problem at the end says one thing and the words displayed contradict what is being said
