Understanding pH
-
Description
An inquiry-based approach to understanding acidity
and alkalinity. Measure the pH values of various
common solutions and create a broad spectrum of
colours. Discover the range of indicators required to
determine acidity and alkalinity. Also discover the
range of acidity and alkalinity of various foods and
the effect of acids on the function of our digestive
enzymes. As a result, students will understand the
difficulties the body faces in maintaining fluids at a
constant pH and learn the importance pH plays in the
chemical reactions necessary for biological activities,
including growth and development, tissue repair and
cell activity.
