Curated OER
Chemical Magic
Students identify acids and bases. In this chemistry lesson, students use red cabbage juice as an indicator of whether the liquid is an acid or base. Students discuss the results.
Curated OER
Determining pH
Eighth graders explain the difference between acids, bases and neutral solutions. In this chemistry lesson, 8th graders describe the properties of each. They determine the pH of an unknown solution using the indicator paper and pH scale.
