TOPIC: ACIDS, BASES AND SALTS

SUB-TOPIC: ACIDS,BASES AND INDICATORS

GENERAL OBJECTIVES:

Science curriculum at the upper primary stage intends to develop:

 Scientific temper and scientific thinking

 Understanding about the nature of scientific knowledge
 Process skills of science which includes observation(s), posing question(s), searching
various resources of learning, planning, investigations etc.
 Sensitivity towards environmental concerns.
 Respect for human dignity and rights, gender equity, values of honesty, integrity,
cooperation and concern for life.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: Students will be able to:

 Classify things as Acidic, Basic and Neutrals.

 Identify chemical nature of substances by using various indicators like
turmeric,china rose and litmus.
 Understand the use of indicators around us.
 Prepare natural indicators like china rose and turmeric.
 Observe the effect of different indicators on acids and bases.
 Distinguish between acids and bases.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE:

 Name the things which are sour in taste?

 Name the things which are bitter in taste?
 Which things are salty in taste?
 Why lemon is sour?
 Why soap gives bitter taste?
 Which makes soap slippery?
 Why we use vinegar in pickles?

TEACHING AIDS:
Different dilute chemicals in the lab ( Acids, bases and indicators), turmeric, china rose, lemon
juice, soap and detergent solution, window cleaner, salt and sugar solution, vinegar, baking soda,
litmus paper (red and blue), filter paper, test tube, phenolphthalein, droppers.
INTRODUCTION:
TEACHER’S ACTIVITY
The teacher will assign to the students to enlist
the things which are sour and bitter in taste to
every group. The teacher will write down the
name of things according to the students on the
blackboard. On the basis of this activity the
teacher will ask the students, why these are
sour and bitter in taste?
Teacher introduces the topic of acids and
bases.
PRESENTATION:
TEACHER’S ACTIVITY
Teacher helps students to learn how to test an
acidic, basic or neutral solution using different
indicators by asking the students to prepare the
natural indicators like china rose and turmeric
at home as discusses by teacher in the previous
class.
Teacher demonstrates an activity with the help
of litmus paper (blue and red) indicator to
check their effect on the different samples of
solutions mentioned above.
Teacher: Name the substances which had no
effect on all three indicators.
What are these substances called?
RECAPITULATION:
STUDENT’S ACTIVITY
Most of the students are unable to give the
answer of the question.
Students listen to the teacher inquisitively.
STUDENT’S ACTIVITY
Learn how to test an acidic, basic or neutral
solution using different indicators with
enthusiasm.
Students discuss their observations and
conclusion in groups with the whole class.
Take active participation in the activities to test
the effects of different indicators like litmus
paper (blue and red) indicator on the different
samples of solutions mentioned above.
Students finally draw their inferences from all
the above activity and learn the
effect of turmeric, china rose and litmus
indicator on acids and bases.
Students: distilled water, salt solution, sugar
solution
Students:Neutral
  What are acids?
 What are bases?
 What are indicators?
 State the effect of china rose, turmeric indicator on acids, bases and neutral solutions.
 Name the acids used in day- to- day life.
 Give an example of a base used day-to-day life?

HOME ASSIGNMENTS:

 Why we take Eno, Baking soda to cure acidity after over-eating at home?

VALUES: Scientific temper, sharing information.

SKILLS DEVELOPED: Thinking skills, observation skills, experimental skills
