Science Can Be Fun!!!

I am working on the Science Challenge with Katherine Kerr and Breanna Stutz.
Students will test six liquids to determine whether they are acidic or basic using the pH probe.
First, students will predict whether the liquid is an acid or base. Then they will stick the probe in the different liquids and record its pH level on a graph. The students will then compare their observations to their predictions. They will then write the liquids in order of pH content, from 0-14.

The liquids we will use are:
Sprite
tap water
lemon-juice
milk
vinegar
dish soap

Content:
ILO's for 4th grade
1. Use Science Process and Thinking Skills
c. Make simple predictions and inferences based upon observations.
d. Compare things and events.
e. Use instruments to measure length, temperature, volume, and weight using appropriate
units.
f. Conduct a simple investigation when given directions.

Pedagogy:
Observing, predicting, measuring, classifying, acquiring and processing data.

Technology:
pH probe
