Introduction: Have the students watch a short video to introduce them to the topic: Video: What are Acids and Bases?

Lesson Outline: 1. Ask students to discuss what they already know about acids and bases. 2. Introduce the definitions and characteristics of acids and bases. 3. Go through some examples of acids and bases and discuss their properties. 4. Discuss the pH scale, and explain the scale of acidity and alkalinity. 5. Introduce the neutralization reaction between acids and bases and discuss how it is used in everyday life.

Questioning: • What are acids and bases? • What are some examples of acids and bases? • What is pH and what is it used to measure? • How do acids and bases interact? • How is the neutralization reaction used in everyday life?

Assessment: Have the students complete a worksheet on Acids and Bases.

Worksheet: Acids and Bases

Differentiation: For students struggling with the concept, provide a video of the Neutralization Reaction: Video: Neutralization Reaction

Plenary: Provide an opportunity for the students to use their newfound knowledge by having them complete the Neutralization Reaction Experiment: Experiment: Neutralization Reaction
