Classroom Resources: Acids & Bases
1 – 12 of 12 Classroom Resources
-
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.
