Indicators, pH, Acid & Base Theories | High School
Lab: Odorants as pH Indicators Mark as Favorite (13 Favorites)
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.
-
pH, Acid Base Reactions, Acid & Base Theories, Strong vs Weak, History | Middle School, High School
Activity: What are Acids & Bases? Video Questions Mark as Favorite (26 Favorites)
In this activity, 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.
-
Acid & Base Theories, Strong vs Weak, Indicators, Titrations, Buffers, Concentration, Molarity, Net Ionic Equation | High School
Lesson Plan: Acids and Bases Unit Plan Mark as Favorite (56 Favorites)
The AACT high school classroom resource library and multimedia collection has everything you need to put together a unit plan for your classroom: lessons, activities, labs, projects, videos, simulations, and animations. We constructed a unit plan using AACT resources that is designed to teach the topic of acids and bases to your students.

Acid & Base Theories, Strong vs Weak, History | Middle School, High School
Activity: Acid & Base Guys Video Questions Mark as Favorite (23 Favorites)
In this activity, students will watch a video about the history of acids and bases. They will learn about the evolution of these theories, from Lavoisier to Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis.
-
Acid & Base Theories, Concentration | High School
Lesson Plan: Calculating pH, A Look at Logarithms Mark as Favorite (52 Favorites)
In this lesson, students will be introduced to a base-10 logarithmic scale and use it to calculate pH from hydrogen ion concentration. Often students are able to calculate pH by pushing the correct buttons on their calculators, but they don’t understand what the values mean. This lesson attempts to bridge that gap using a guided inquiry model.

Buffers, Acid & Base Theories | High School
Lesson Plan: Preparation and Evaluation of Buffers Mark as Favorite (29 Favorites)
In this lesson students will use multiple methods to calculate and prepare buffered solutions with a desired pH. Upon preparation of the solutions, the students will explore differing aspects of buffers including buffering capacity and predominant form.
-
Acid & Base Theories, Strong vs Weak, History | Middle School, High School
Video: Acid & Base Guys Video Mark as Favorite (57 Favorites)
This video tells the story of how the definition of acids and bases has evolved from Lavoisier, to Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis.
-
Chemical Change, Strong vs Weak, Salts, Acid & Base Theories, Ions, Conductivity, Mixtures | Middle School
Lesson Plan: Why Drink Gatorade? Mark as Favorite (1 Favorite)
In this lesson, students will test different flavors of Gatorade and other liquids to investigate acids and bases. This will take several days unless students already know about acids and bases.
-
Chemical Change, Acid & Base Theories, Indicators, Solubility Rules, Gas Laws, Pressure | Middle School
Lesson Plan: Chemistry of Pop Rocks Mark as Favorite (3 Favorites)
In this lesson, students will determine the pH of several liquids with litmus paper or a pH probe. Next, students will explore how pH affects the production of gas with Pop Rocks. Students will also investigate how Charles’ Law affects Pop Rocks. Finally, students will design their own experiment with Pop Rocks.
-
Acid & Base Theories, Acid Base Reactions, Acid Rain, pH, History, Interdisciplinary | High School
Project: Acid Base Creative Letter Mark as Favorite (23 Favorites)
In this project, students will compare and contrast the properties of acids and bases and define pH.
