Through a series of prepared beakers, containing indicators, take a glass of "water" and pour it into an "empty" beaker and have it turn into a glass of "red wine". Take the red wine, pour it into a second beaker and have it turn into a glass of "milk". Take the milk, pour it into a final beaker and it changes into a glass of "beer". All are accomplished by changes in pH

Hands on lab which produces "elephant toothpaste" by the decomposition of 6% hydrogen peroxide using yeast catalase enzyme.
Describe and explain the chemistry of the reaction.

Hands on examination which examines the pH of 6 acidic solutions of hydrochloric acid. Each solution is 10% of the previous one. The pH is measured using sensitive pH strips, sensitive to 0.5pH units, and recorded.
The results are analyzed and a conclusion drawn which relates the strength of the acid solution and the pH.
The Chemistry of the pH change is shown to be related to the hydrogen ions produced by each dilution. The stronger the acid, the greater the number of hydrogen ions and the smaller is the pH number.

Explain and define ions and ionization.
Present examples of ion formation through gaining or losing of electrons, not protons.
Show the name and formula for 4 common acids.
Show the ionization formula for each of the acids when placed into water.
Elicit from the ionization formula, what each reaction has in common, the formation of a hydrogen ion.
State the Arrhenius formula which defines an acid as any substance which will ionize to form hydrogen ions in solution.

Hands on demonstration showing how to determine acids and bases by the color change each produces on red and blue litmus paper.
Examination of the color change when phenolphthalein is added to each solution.
3 acid solutions and 3 base solutions are used.

Develop a hypothesis regarding the densities of glycerine and baby oil compared to water.
Test your hypothesis experimentally determining the density of each one.
Based on your results, hypothesize how each liquid would arrange if poured into a cylinder, and explain why.
Test your hypothesis.

Virtual lab to determine the density of various solid substances.
discussion of how to determine the density of irregularly shaped objects.
Discussion of how the king discovered his crown was not solid gold.

Lab designed to determine the density of water at the current room temperature.
Determination of definition of mass, and the definition of volume.
Elicit the definition of density as mass per unit volume, or mass divided by volume.
Have Aiden devise a lab procedure to determine the density of water by first determining the mass of a specific volume of water, to the nearest 0.1 gram and 0.1 milliliter.
Once recorded, determine the density of the water by dividing the found mass by the recorded volume and recording it in grams per milliliter.
Obtain the accepted value and discuss why the experimental value might be different.
View glycerine and baby oil, hypothesize about the density compared to water, and state that they will be determined at the next lab session.

Formulate a hypothesis regarding the rate of a chemical reaction and the concentration of one of the reactants.
Perform the lab experiment using decreasing strengths of sulfuric acid and a constant mass of magnesium ribbon.
The reaction is viewed as the ribbon dissolves in the acid and produces bubbles of hydrogen gas.
The time to completely dissolve is recorded.

Lab experiment to demonstrate the effect of temperature on the rate of a chemical reaction.
Acid at 3 different temperatures is used, and magnesium ribbon is placed into each one. The Reaction is timed and the time for each reaction recorded.
The end point was when the magnesium no longer reacted in the acid to form hydrogen gas.
