Acidity
Sixth graders describe the physical and chemical properties of acids. In this chemistry lesson, 6th graders test the acidity of different solutions. They identify acids and bases using the pH scale.
Curated OER
Mineralization
Students investigate demineralization and remineralization and find common foods that promote these things. In this investigative lesson students compare effects of this on fluoride and non-fluoride treated substances and establish...
Curated OER
pH
Students test the pH of various solutions. In this pH lesson, students use litmus paper to test the pH of household solutions. They compare their results with book charts.

Curated OER
Acidity of Soda Pop
Students conduct an experiment to determine the acidity of three different brands of soda by adding a known volume of base until a pink color appears in the reaction vessel. They test fresh and flat soda, observe any differences, and...
Curated OER
Making Soap
Young scholars recognize and use chemical indicators in the lab, recognize the need for safety while doing chemical experiments and understand the need for following precise directions.
Curated OER
Am I Neutral? pH Properties in Soil
Pupils participate in a science lab to determine the pH of three different soil samples. Students conduct an experiment by creating a question, a hypothesis and then an investigation of soil samples. Then they compare colors apprearing...
