Students will learn about acids and bases through a class discussion and then test a dilute acid and dilute base with neutral litmus paper to learn how the paper indicates something is acidic or basic. Once that skill is learned they can move on to test some common items that would be found around their house to determine if they are acids or bases. Optional: Extra litmus paper is included to test more items either from home or around the school building for a greater understanding of acids and bases. The activity contains enough materials for 6 groups of students.


Safety Data Sheet

Description
How do scientists know if something is alive? There are certain characteristics of all living things that the scientific community uses to judge whether something is alive. On first observation, yeast does not look like a typical living thing. In this activity, students will hypothesize about yeast and then test to see if their hypothesis is correct. Using this information, they will be able to come to a conclusion to the question of whether yeast is alive. Kit contains enough materials for 15 groups. Teacher's Guide and Student Study Guide copymasters are included.
