Classroom Resources: Acids & Bases
51 – 62 of 62 Classroom Resources
-
Reaction Rate, Reaction Rate, Acid Base Reactions | Middle School, High School
Lab: Plop, Fizz: How to Affect the Rate of a Chemical Reaction
In this lesson, students will react Alka-Seltzer tablets with water. By varying the temperature of the water, particle size of the Alka-Seltzer, and concentration of the Alka-Seltzer they can see the effect on the rate and strength of the chemical reaction.

Indicators | High School, Middle School
Lab: Detecting pH of Commonly Used Acids and Bases
In this lab, students will use their knowledge of acids and bases to determine the acidity and basicity of every day items by measuring pH using several different methods for determination. Indications of pH may be determined using red & blue litmus paper, pH strips, and pH probes or pH meters.
-
Titrations, Indicators, Strong vs Weak, Equivalence Point, pH | High School
Lab: Meet The Indicators
In this lab, students will use their background with titrations to see how different indicators change colors at different pH's.
-
Titrations, Concentration, Acid Base Reactions, Indicators, Molarity, Interdisciplinary | High School
Lab: Calculating Acid in Lemon-Lime Soda
In this lab, students will investigate the molarity of citric acid in a clear, lemon-lime flavored soft drink through titrations with 0.10M NaOH and an indicator.
-
Indicators, Acid Base Reactions | High School, Elementary School, Middle School
Demonstration: Another Secret Message
In this demonstration, students will observe a hidden message while understanding simple acid/base chemistry and indicators.
-
Solubility, Acid Base Reactions, Titrations, Indicators, Concentration, pH | High School
Lab: Alka-Seltzer & Gas Solubility
In this lab, students will use a reaction to investigate temperature and the solubility of carbon dioxide and will use a neutralization reaction and an indicator to verify the amount of carbon dioxide produced at each temperature.
-
Limiting Reactant, Acid Base Reactions, Stoichiometry, Indicators, pH, Dimensional Analysis, Mole Concept, Measurements, Concentration, Molarity | High School
Lab: Acid/Base Stoichiometry
In this lab, students experience a limiting reactant and can physically see the difference in amounts of product generated. They also see which reactant is in excess.
-
Titrations, Limiting Reactant, Acid Base Reactions, Indicators, Chemical Change, Equivalence Point, Stoichiometry, Balancing Equations, Chemical Change, Graphing, Error Analysis, Chemical Change, Error Analysis, Measurements, Concentration, Molarity | High School
Lab: Acid-Base Mole Ratio
In this lab, students study several concepts, including acid-base reactions, limiting reactants, and stoichiometry, by observing the contained reaction of acetic acid (diluted vinegar) with sodium hydrogen carbonate (baking soda) in an unconventional, cost effective titration.
-
Strong vs Weak, Titrations, Acid Base Reactions, Equivalence Point, Indicators, pH, Concentration, Molarity, Measurements | High School
Lab: Acid Base Reactions
In this lab, students will witness a reaction between an acid and base. One will be strong, and the other may be weak or strong--it's up to them to determine.
-
Acid & Base Theories, Acid Base Reactions, Acid Rain, pH, History, Interdisciplinary | High School
Project: Acid Base Creative Letter
In this project, students will compare and contrast the properties of acids and bases and define pH.
-
Indicators, Le Châtelier's Principle, Acid Base Reactions, Chemical Change, Chemical Change, Limiting Reactant, Reaction Rate, Observations, Chemical Change | High School
Demonstration: Milk of Magnesia Magic
In this demonstration, students will observe a color change in a milk of magnesia solution as vinegar is added.
-
Chemical Change, Observations, Chemical Change, Mixtures | Elementary School, Middle School, High School
Demonstration: Inflating a Balloon with Chemistry
In this demonstration, the teacher will perform a reaction between acetic acid (vinegar) and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) in order to inflate a balloon and to introduce the concept of a chemical reaction to students. Students will observe the reaction, and identify indicators of chemical change as well as discuss the different types of matter that are involved.
