In this bundle, students explore the science behind sourness and acidity through multiple low-cost, easy mini-labs in which students investigate pH, pH indicators, diffusion and behavior of particles in liquids, the relationship between temperature and diffusion, and how acidic ingredients can produce bubbles with baking soda.
 
This bundle includes TWO lessons:
1) Sourness & Color Changing Lemonade
2) Sourness & Color Changing Fizzy Drinks
 
These lessons both begin with the same 2-day lesson to introduce sourness and then go into different labs that explore slightly different topics. All together, this is 6-8 days of lessons.
 
The lemonade lesson also explores the behavior of particles in liquids, diffusion, and changes in color due to pH by making a lemonade.
 
This color changing fizzy drinks lesson also explores how
how acidic ingredients can produce bubbles with baking soda with both a lab and a recipe card activity.
