Acids, Bases, & the pH Scale
Embark on an Electrifying Acid-Base Adventure!
Prepare for a digital learning experience like never before with this dynamic Google Slides assignment. Students will be on the edge of their seats as they dive into the world of acids, bases, and the intriguing pH scale. Get ready for an exhilarating journey through the atomic realm!
Atom Unleashed: Students kick off the adventure by dissecting a water molecule, witnessing the birth of a hydrogen and a hydroxide ion. The excitement builds as they continue to unravel molecules, determining whether they're destined for acidic or basic fates.
pH Scale Quest: Hold on tight as students tackle the pH scale, unraveling its logarithmic mysteries. They'll answer thrilling questions and strategically place images on a parabola representation, showcasing their mastery of this vital scale.
Alien Juice Bar Extravaganza: Brace for an out-of-this-world experience at the alien juice bar! Students will face a trio of mind-bending activities, testing their newfound knowledge in a cosmic setting.
This is more than just a lesson; it's a high-energy exploration of the atomic universe. Students will be captivated by the thrill of discovery, all while honing their scientific prowess.
Don't let this opportunity for an exciting learning experience pass by. Dive into this extraordinary Google Slides assignment on acids, bases, and the pH scale, and let the adventure begin!
When FLASH died, so did Alien Juice Bar. I have recreated this activity as an interactive google slides assignment. FInd this for free using the link below. On slide 8, I instruct your students to access “the other document that has been assigned to them.” I am referring to this document. https://www.the-lesson-laboratory.com/store/p/gems-alien-juice-bar-clickable-interactive
Daily slide + literacy - based exit ticket included with purchase

NGSS Standards
NGSS
MS-PS1-2: Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after interactions to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred.
NGSS
MS-PS1-5: Develop and use a model to describe how the total number of atoms does not change in a chemical reaction and thus mass is conserved (applies if you extend into neutralization).
NGSS
HS-PS1-3: Plan and conduct an investigation to gather evidence to compare the structure of substances at the bulk scale to infer the strength of electrical forces between particles (acid/base solutions, ion interactions).
Common Core Standards
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RST.6-8.3/RST.9-10.3: Follow precisely a multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or performing technical tasks. (connection: following steps to test pH and classify solutions as acidic, basic, or neutral)
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RST.6-8.4/RST.9-10.4: Determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other domain-specific words and phrases (e.g., acidic, basic, neutral, indicator).
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RST.6-8.7/RST.9-10.7: Integrate quantitative or technical information expressed in words with visual data (e.g., color changes, pH charts, or solution diagrams).
