The Acid Test - The purpose of this lesson, from Science NetLinks, is to devise a scientific investigation to detect acids and bases in common materials.
Exploring Acids and Bases - This page, from Science is Fun, is one of several experiments for students to do at home with supervision. In this activity, general information about acids and bases is given, along with directions for simple investigations using materials that are found around the home.
Acids and bases are two different classes of compounds that are fundamental to the functioning of our world. When they combine, acids and bases produce salts. Students explore the chemistry of acids and bases and focus on the pH scale, an ingenious measurement of the amount of acidity and basicity of compounds. The program concludes by illustrating how the level of acids and bases contribute to processes as varied as acid rain and the functioning of the cells in our bodies
