Classroom Resources: Acids & Bases

1 – 5 of 5 Classroom Resources

• 

  Equilibrium Constants, Le Châtelier's Principle | High School

  Activity: How do Pollutants Affect our Oceans?

  In this activity, students will use the simulation, Surface Ocean pH Levels, from the Chemistry in Context Simulation Suite to investigate the values related to ocean acidification and interpret systems with multiple equilibria.

• 

  Establishing Equilibrium, Equilibrium Constants, Reaction Quotient, Graphing | High School

  Activity: Shaking Dice to Model Equilibrium Principles

  In this activity, students work together in small groups using a variety of multi-sided dice to model the dynamic character of a chemical equilibrium. Students will collect, share and analyze data in order to understand that the rate of a chemical reaction depends on the concentration of reactants (and products) as modelled by the different sided dice.

• 

  Buffers | High School

  Activity: What are Buffers?

  In this activity, students will complete a card sort that will allow them to understand what makes up a buffer solution and how it works to keep pH from changing.

• 

  Acid & Base Theories, Strong vs Weak, History | Middle School, High School

  Video: Acid & Base Guys Video

  This video tells the story of how the definition of acids and bases has evolved from Lavoisier, to Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis.

• 

  Pros Cons of Nuclear Power, Combustion, Acid Rain, Radiation, Renewable Energy, Radiation | High School

  Activity: Town Meeting

  In this activity, students will learn about acid rain, gas scrubbers, half-life, chain reactions, and other topics around electricity production through a debate on nuclear power.
