Student: Alexa de la Torre Course: EDU 329 Grade:5 Topic: Acids and Bases

Professor: Sills Date: 4/8/14 Content Area: Science

INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVE (Lesson Objectives*) Students will be shown pictures of common substances that are acidic and basic as well as discussing the different properties between acids and bases. After the use of a pH scale is demonstrated, students will then work with a partner to identify the pH values of eight different substances and complete an identification worksheet with no errors. CCLS/+NYS STANDARDS AND INDICATORS Intermediate Level Science Standard #4: Physical Setting Students will understand and apply scientific concepts, principles, and theories pertaining to the physical setting and living environment and recognize the historical development of ideas in science. Indicator: This will be evident when the students are identifying the pH values of the eight common substances.

CCCS. ELA- Literacy. SL. 5.1. Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grade 5 topics and texts, building on others ideas and expressing their own clearly. Indicator: This will be evident when the teacher leads a discussion in the different properties between acids and bases and demonstrates the use of the pH scale. This will be evident when the students are working together with their partners to find the correct pH values for all of the substances provided. MOTIVATION (Engaging the learners*) (Engagement) The teacher will have the students view several images of common substances that they have seen before and discuss the similarities and differences between these substances. The teacher will explain to the class how these substances are acidic or basic and explain the properties of acids and bases. The teacher will demonstrate how to use the pH scale, universal pH indicator, and pH value color chart to help identify the pH values of certain substances.

MATERIALS Pictures of common acidic and basic substances Gloves Goggles Aprons Universal pH indicator paper pH value color chart Orange juice Gatorade Vinegar Milk Water Fruit juice Molasses Tomato juice pH value identification worksheet STRATEGIES (Learning Strategies*) Group Discussion: This will be evident when the teacher and students discuss which substances they recognize and the similarities and differences between each. This is also evident when the teacher explains to the class the varying properties of acids and bases. Teacher Demonstration: This will be evident when the teacher demonstrates how to use the pH scale when identifying pH values. This will also be evident when the teacher shows the students how to use the universal pH indicator paper and pH value color chart with the substances to find the pH values. Cooperative Learning: This will be evident when the students are working in pairs, sharing materials, and expressing ideas in attempt to find the pH values of the substances provided.

ADAPTATIONS (Exceptionality*) The student with fine motor coordination issues will be given assistance with dipping the universal indicator paper into the substances to find the pH values. DIFFERENTIATION OF INSTRUCTION Tier One: Students will be shown pictures of common substances that are acidic and basic as well as discussing the different properties between acids and bases. After the use of a pH scale is demonstrated, students will then work with a partner to identify the pH values of eight different substances and complete an identification worksheet being provided with a pH scale reminder sheet with no errors. Tier Two: Students will be shown pictures of common substances that are acidic and basic as well as discussing the different properties between acids and bases. After the use of a pH scale is demonstrated, students will then work with a partner to identify the pH values of eight different substances and complete an identification worksheet with no errors. Tier Three: Students will be shown pictures of common substances that are acidic and basic as well as discussing the different properties between acids and bases. After the use of a pH scale is demonstrated, students will then work with a partner to identify the pH values of eight different substances and complete an identification worksheet, as well as writing down one property that could make the substance acidic or basic for three of the substances with no errors. DEVELOPMENTAL PROCEDURES Students will think about the images of the substances they have seen. (What do these substances have in common? How are the substances different?) Students will discuss the properties of acids and bases and why these substances are so different. (Explanation) Students will utilize the materials provided and their knowledge of acids and bases to identify the pH values of the eight provided substances. Students will recognize what the pH values represent. (What does a pH value of 8.0 represent? Why are some substances sticky?) (Exploration) Students will fill out the pH value identification worksheet and determine if each substance is an acid or a base. (If the pH value is 2.0, is it an acid or a base? Is milk an acid or a base?)

ASSESSMENT (Artifacts and assessment [formal & informal]*) (Evaluation) Students will complete the pH value identification worksheet, identifying all eight substances as acidic or basic as well as the pH values with no errors.

INDEPENDENT PRACTICE Following the lesson on the different properties of acids and bases, students will bring in one example from home of an acidic or basic substance. Teacher will provide feedback based on solution. FOLLOW-UP DIRECT TEACHER INTERVENTION AND ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT Direct Teacher Intervention: The teacher will bring in safe drinkable substances for students to taste, touch, see, and smell. Students will be able to better see the similarities and differences between acidic and basic substances. Academic Enrichment: The student will keep a five-day log of the acidic and basic foods or drinks that they have eaten or drank and how they knew they were acidic or basic based on properties.
