ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
Students are given samples of acids (vinegar, citric acid solution) and neutral solution (tap
water) and they observe the effect on different materials (egg shell, piece of a bone, leave, granite,
apple, alu foil). The measure pH using pH meter and universal indicator of acid and water on the
start and then during experiment.
ACTIVITY ASSESSMENT
Write down results from observation, explain what happened and what is the effect of low
pH on living or non-living items.
