Grades 5-6: An Acid or a Base? Understanding the pH Scale


Monday, March 1



Offered at 9:15, 10:30, 1:00, and 2:15

Subject area: Science

Grade levels: 5-6

Why does acid rain eat away at limestone and marble? How come most cleaning products contain a base? Answer these questions and more as we explore the pH scale. Students will have a chance to observe hands-on experiments and determine for themselves if each mystery solution is an acid or a base. During our discussion, we will also cover what constitutes an acid and base and characteristics of each.
