About this resource
What's inside this resource
Acids and Bases - This TWO-DAY lesson package includes the lesson (student and teacher versions of the presentation), TWO worksheets with answers, FOUR embedded videos, and a student lesson handout as a document.
The lesson is interesting, applicable, and provides many opportunities for students to learn about the five main kinds of chemical reactions.
In order, the lesson covers:
pH
Acid Properties
HCl
Acid Precipitation
Ocean Acidification
Base Properties
Neutralization Reactions
Cleaning Up Chemical Spills
Acid Reflux and GERD
Indicators
Included in the lesson package is:
Google and Office versions of each resource
The teacher version of the presentation
The student version of the presentation
EIGHT embedded videos
Student lesson handout
--------------------------------------------
This lesson includes both Office and Google formats for ALL resources. The presentation is in PowerPoint and Google Slides while all documents contain Word and Google Doc versions.
Your resource is perfect for distance learning and integrates seamlessly with Google Classroom as I've included a link that will automatically create a copy of the resources and put them directly into your Google Drive with one click.
Purchase --> Open --> Click --> Assign to your students
Having both options allows you to use either without worrying about formatting issues as all the work has already been done for you. It safeguards you in case your department or school decides to go Google 100% and allows you as well as your students to access everything no matter where you are or what kind of equipment is being used.
--------------------------------------------
The student version of the presentation contains multiple blanks that need to be filled in throughout the lesson. These blanks are conveniently underlined and bolded on the teacher copy. I have found this to be the most effective means of keeping my students engaged and active without having them write everything out. This also leaves more time for discussion and activities.
This lesson can also be found within my Chemistry Unit which also includes the following lessons:
Lesson 1 - Physical/Chemical Properties and Changes
Lesson 2 - Periodic Table and Bohr Rutherford Diagrams
Lesson 3 - Lewis Structures
Lesson 4 - Ions
Lesson 5 - Ionic Compounds
Lesson 6 - Polyatomic Compounds
Lesson 7 - Molecular Compounds
Lesson 8 - Chemical Reactions Introduction
Lesson 9 - Balancing Chemical Reactions
Lesson 10 - Types of Chemical Reactions
Lesson 11 - Acid, Bases, and Neutralization Reactions
I also have a range of assignments and lessons/units from other grade levels at my store. Please CLICK HERE to have a look around and don’t forget to follow if you like what you see.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Define an acid and a base in terms of proton/electron transfer, and place substances on the 0-14 pH scale.
Explain how acid precipitation forms from fossil fuel combustion and describe its effects on soil and aquatic ecosystems.
Write and balance simple neutralization reaction equations showing an acid and base producing water and a salt.
Apply neutralization chemistry to two real-world cases: a chemical spill cleanup and acid reflux treatment.
Teaching tips
Use the student slide deck's underlined blanks as discussion prompts, then reveal the matching teacher slide to confirm the answer, since every blank in the student version corresponds to filled-in text in the teacher version.
Assign the chemical spill and acid reflux slides after the core acid/base/neutralization content, since both cases require students to already recognize neutralization equations.
Use the Student Lesson Outline document as a take-home or absent-student version of the same fill-in-the-blank content covered in the slides.
Skills covered
Acid/base classification — students place example substances on the 0-14 pH scale and identify their acid or base properties.
Neutralization equation writing — students complete acid-plus-base reaction equations that produce water and a salt (e.g., HCl + NaOH).
Real-world chemistry application — the chemical-spill and acid-reflux cases have students apply neutralization concepts to non-classroom scenarios.
Indicator identification — students learn how natural (red cabbage) and synthetic (bromothymol) indicators reveal a substance's acidity.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
Are the blanks in the student slides answered anywhere in the file, or does the teacher have to know the content beforehand?
They're answered — a separate, fully completed teacher slide deck fills in every blank from the student version, so the teacher doesn't need to know the content from memory.
Does the lesson only cover the pH scale, or does it go further into real-world uses?
It goes further — after the core pH and acid/base content, the lesson covers acid precipitation, ocean acidification, a chemical spill neutralization case study, and acid reflux and antacids.
