    Science Fair Submission Week (recover)

    MHJC Learning Framework Step:

    FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING… identify acids and bases, compare their chemical properties, and discuss their use and importance.

    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI

    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

    • We are PLANNING... so that we can… hypothesise if a solution or substance is an acid or base as we collaborate and practise the acidity testing.


    Success Criteria: (Students can...)

    • identify the characteristics of acid and base
    • compare and contrast acid and base and their various uses
    • determine the acidity of household solutions (as well as a few chemicals) and understand their functions based on their pH nature
    • make meaningful connections of the important of acid and base in our material world
    • explain the cause and effect of ocean acidification


    Activities & Learning Tasks:

    1. Education Perfect task
    2. Video resources, note-taking and discussion
    3. Tasks and resources on Google Classroom
    4. Acid / Base experiment (pH testing of household solutions and chemicals)
