Students will be able to:
use the information from inquiry activities, the textbook and classroom discussions to
-identify substances as acids or bases.
Students performed an inquiry based lab on acids and bases. They were asked to formulate a question and hypothesis, devise a procedure to test the hypothesis, and gather data. They were then asked to draw conclusions from the experiment. They used distilled water, lime juice, vinegar, ammonia and a baking soda solution in the laboratory. Students also had to list the safety precautions prior to beginning the lab.
Home learning is to complete the lab handout sheet and to work on the science fair package.
