Classroom Resources: Acids & Bases

1 – 13 of 13 Classroom Resources

• 

  Acid & Base Theories, Indicators, pH | High School

  Lab: Odorants as pH Indicators

  In this lab, students will observe how the aromas of common pantry items (vinegar, coffee, liquid aminos) change with pH, and relate these observations to their understanding of acid-base equilibrium.

• 

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

  Activity: What are Acids & Bases? Video Questions

  In this lesson, students will watch a video and answer questions about acids and bases. They will learn about characteristics of acids and bases, the pH scale, and the role of acids in biochemistry.

• 

  Physical Properties, Concentration, Chemical Properties, pH | Middle School

  Activity: Would You Drink it?

  In this activity, students are provided with data regarding the water quality at multiple locations throughout a city. Students will determine which location should be prioritized for cleaning of contaminates. Students will utilize Claim Evidence and Reasoning (CER) to develop a claim that is supported by the data provided.

• 

  Interdisciplinary, History, Acid Base Reactions, Acid & Base Theories, Acid Rain, pH | High School

  Project: Acid Base Creative Letter

  In this project, students will compare and contrast the properties of acids and bases and define pH.

• 

  Observations, Chemical Change, Interdisciplinary, Acid Base Reactions, Classification of Reactions, Chemical Change, Acid Rain, pH | High School

  Activity: Investigating Acid Rain

  In this activity, students will investigate the chemistry of acid rain through web based research. Students will also have the opportunity to observe the reaction between a common acid and a material in a week long simulation and relate their findings to the effects of acid rain.

• 

  Chemical Change, Concentration, Acid Base Reactions, Molarity, Chemical Change, Indicators, Acid Rain, pH, Equivalence Point | High School

  Lab: Seeing the Effects of Acid Rain

  In this lesson, students will prepare an environment and make acid rain to see how the acid rain effects the items in the environment.

• 

  Titrations, Indicators, Strong vs Weak, pH | High School

  Lab: Titration

  In this lab, students will learn the difference between strong, weak, and concentrated acids by carrying out various titrations.

• 

  Concentration, Acid Base Reactions, Molarity, Measurements, Titrations, Indicators, Strong vs Weak, pH, Equivalence Point | 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.

• 

  Titrations, Indicators, Strong vs Weak, pH, Equivalence Point | 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.

• 

  Acid Base Reactions, Balancing Equations, Titrations, Indicators, Strong vs Weak, Graphing, pH, Equivalence Point | High School

  Lab: Titration Curves

  In this lab, students graphically observe a plot of micro acid/base titrations and determine the equivalence point of each plotted curve.

• 

  Concentration, Acid Base Reactions, Molarity, Stoichiometry, Limiting Reactant, Mole Concept, Dimensional Analysis, Measurements, Indicators, pH | 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.

• 

  Acid Base Reactions, Balancing Equations, Percent Yield, Stoichiometry, Limiting Reactant, Chemical Change, Dimensional Analysis, pH, Error Analysis | High School

  Lab: Limiting Reactant in a Balloon

  In this lab, students perform a reaction between acetic acid and sodium bicarbonate and determine the amount of product formed and the limiting reactant.

• 

  Solubility, Concentration, Acid Base Reactions, Intermolecular Forces, Titrations, Indicators, 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.
