(virtual demo: Gems Alien Juice Bar)
Use either a power-point, video or demo that will help student to become
familiar with acids, basic, and neutral solutions. Also it allows students to
understand what a pH scale is, and the pH value of indicates.
Cooperative learning Many of the activities in this book employ group work
and cooperative learning. Cooperative activities provide opportunities for
students to exchange, write, and present ideas. Students will work in groups
of 3s to 4s to identify the pH level of compounds.
California State Standards:
Grade 8 Physical Science:
5. Chemical reactions are processes in which atoms are rearranged into different
combinations of molecules. As a basis for understanding this concept:
e. Students know how to determine whether a solution is acidic, basic, or
neutral.
Grades 9-12 Chemistry:
5. Acids, bases, and salts are three classes of compounds that form ions in water
solutions. As a basis for understanding this concept:
d. Students know how to use the pH scale to characterize acid and base
solutions.
Lesson Objectives:
This activity is designed for students to identify the pH level of compounds. By
testing common household substances will help them:
To understand the property of acid and base and how to test the pH of a
liquid;
Have students participate in the interactive virtual minilab that will challenge
the students to learn about acids and bases. Challenge #1 Learn about acids and
bases.
After viewing this virtual interactive activity have students discuss the following
questions.
What kind of questions should the students ask themselves after the
engagement?
1. What was the purpose of the cabbage juice?
2. What colors were used to indicate the presence of an acid, base and
neutral solution?
EXPLORE
Describe the hands-on laboratory activity that the students will be doing.
Students will determine whether the test substances are acids or
bases, compare pH and litmus paper as it relates to the test results.
List the big idea conceptual questions that the teacher will ask to focus the
student exploration.
1. From the data collected, what generalization can you make about
the pH of a solution, and the effect of a solution on litmus paper?
2. For the following solutions, how would you describe the H30+
List the higher order questions that the teacher will ask to solicit student
explanations for their laboratory outcomes, and justify their explanations.
1. Explain why some substances are acids and some substances are bases.
2. What does it mean to say that distilled water is neutral? What pH should it
have?

Analysis Questions:
1. Explain why some substances are acids and some substances are bases.
2. What does it mean to say that distilled water is neutral? What pH should it
have?
3. List all substances tested and classify each as an acid or a base. Were any
substances neutral (or nearly so)?
4. Consider the food items tested. What conclusions, if any, can you make
concerning their pH? What conclusion can be made about the cleaning
products in general?
5. From the data collected, what generalization can you make about the pH of a
solution and the effect of a solution on litmus paper?
6. For the following solutions, how would you describe the H30+ concentration?
Label them as acidic, basic, and neutral
a. Solution A pH 10
7. Using the data from this investigation, design a pH scale by listing the name
and the pH of the substances tested.
