Lesson Teaching Date:

Concept(s): Substances can be classified by their chemical and physical properties. Students
will use scientific inquiry methods during laboratory investigations to classify substances.
TEKS:
(5.4)Scientific processes. The student conducts field and laboratory investigations following
home and school safety procedures and environmentally appropriate and ethical practices. The
student is expected to:
(A) demonstrate safe practices during field and laboratory investigations; and

5.2)Scientific processes. The student uses scientific methods during field and laboratory
investigations. The student is expected to:
(C) analyze and interpret information to construct reasonable explanations from
direct and indirect evidence;

(5.2)Scientific processes. The student uses scientific methods during field and laboratory
investigations. The student is expected to:
(E) construct simple graphs, table, maps, and charts using tools including computers
to organize, examine, and evaluate information;

Classroom Management Goals/Skills
 Uses attention-getting strategies
 Utilizes an effective “teacher voice”
 Uses of a method of knowing students names
 Assigns student tasks for cooperative groups
 Uses effective procedures and routines
o Starts and ends on time
 Utilizes power point to enhance implementation

Objectives Evaluation Question for each Objective
The student will be able to:
1. Classify a substance as acidic or Classify the following substances as acids or bases

C) Vinegar, pH 2?

Ex: Vinegar Pink Acid




MATERIALS LIST and ADVANCED PREPARATIONS:
For the teacher:
 3 colors of chalk or whiteboard markers: one blue, one pink, one purple.
 For baking soda solution, add equal parts of baking soda and water. Place in a spray
bottle. (Engagement activity – Teacher Demonstration)
 For vinegar solution, place vinegar in a spray bottle. (Engagement activity – Teacher
Demonstration)
 Shallow tub
 Golden Rod Paper

For each student:
 Testing Chemicals worksheet
For each group:
 Directions sheet
 8 clear, plastic containers or dropper containers.
o 8 Pipettes or droppers if not using dropper containers
 1 neutral, 3 acids and 3 bases in small containers on a tray. (total of 9 solutions)
o Solutions:
 Neutrals- Rubbing alcohol
 Acids- vinegar, aspirin, lemon juice
 Bases-window cleaner, Baking soda, 409 Note: each container should have a separate dropper to avoid cross-
contamination. Additionally, each group will need a dropper for cabbage juice.
(Total of 8)
o Box of crayons with a wide array of colors. (Students will be attempting to
match their crayons to the colors of their cabbage juice, so a decent variety is
recommended.)



Safety Issues: Though using mostly benign chemicals as acids and bases in this experiment,
children must use caution when handling them. Do not taste any of the solutions during this
activity. These chemicals, though commonly found around the house, are irritants and it is
good to model safety procedures when handling potentially caustic chemicals in the lab. If a
student spills chemicals on themselves, they should be told to wash the area vigorously with
water for a few minutes.

TRANSITION

The change you saw was called a physical change. It was caused by the baking soda coming into
contact with the paper. This goldenrod paper is colored with a dye that is an acid/base
indicator. An acid/base indicator can be used to determine whether a solution is an acid or a
base. Today we are going to use a different indicator to determine if some common household chemicals are acids or bases.

TRANSITION

Students, I think that we are making some great inferences and observations. Now, I would like
for everyone to share what they have observed, and see if we can collect a good set of class
data to figure out what the trends were that we were seeing and see if we can get to the
bottom of the reasons for these color changes.
