Acids & Bases

A.B.A.T six graders have encountered a new experience this year in learning about acid- base. Students were divided into groups; some were identifying the nature of substances from their daily life as acidic or basic. They tested lemon, orange, liquid detergent, vinegar, and tomato using litmus paper, phenolphthalein and pH meter. Other groups were excited about working the virtual lab, where they predicted and then measured the pH of different substances using PH meter. This new approach, ICT integrated, attracted this digital learning generation’s attention which helped them grasp the concept with enthusiasm.
