Students learn about the pH scale through videos, discussions, and interactive simulations, then apply this knowledge by designing and conducting a pH-based investigation to test the pH of a local waterway.
Inquire: Students engage in a movement-based activity to assess familiarity with the pH scale, acids, and bases.
Investigate: Students engage in five virtual labs using an online pH simulation and learn about the relationship between pH, the health of bodies of freshwater, and climate change.
Inspire: Students design and carry out an experiment to test the pH of a local waterway in order to assess its health.
