INTRODUCTION
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
Relate the taste of food given to the chemical properties as acid, base or neutral.
Compare their findings with their predictions.
Classify chemicals into acid, base or neutral.
Test various food chemicals or other chemical compounds.
SCIENTIFIC CONCEPT AND THEORY
PREREQUISITE KNOWLEDGE
b. to show
- general taste of acid and base
- physical properties of acid and base
Scenario
One day, Hendri got stomach upset. He just ate a type of food then he drank orange juice,
and suddenly his stomach was hurt. It seemed he got a problem with his spleen. Then his
friend Attariq gave him antacid. Why did Hendri get a stomachache? Can you describe
what happen to Hendri? Why did his friend give him an Antacid?
Task 1.
2. predict the chemical properties of the following material and write on their task
sheet.
Water
Vinegar
Orange juice
Apple juice
Soft drink
Salt solution
Antacid
Aspirin
Cofee
Tea
Milk
3. Give examples for acid, base and neutral other than the aforementioned materials.
Task 2.
Students are to:
1. work in groups to perform simple test such as pH testing, and other activities to
determine the nature of the samples.
2. write the results of the activity on task sheet.
3. compare the results with the prediction on task 1.
4. summarize the experimental procedures that had been carried out.
5. report group findings to the class.
Task 3.
Students are to answer the following question:
1. What is acid? What is base?
2. What is an indicator?
3. How does an indicator help us figure out what is an acid, base or neutral?
4. Why do we bother to test water?
5. Why should we replicate experiments?
Students are to choose a partner and share their answer, then some volunteers share
their idea to the class
The students are expected to have some background knowledge on the general taste of
acid and base, also a bit of knowledge about Acid and Base Theory. It is expected that the
students will be able to do all the acid-base hands-on activities.

Task Sheet 1-Activity: Experiment: Which sample is acid, base or neutral?
Introduction:
A lot of materials that we consume differ in terms of acidity. Some are acid,
some are base, and probably some are neutral. Sometimes they appear in the same
performance, but actually they are very different from one another.
In this activity, you will investigate by observing and testing on some samples
that include water or materials using the following reagents.
10 samples of water/material, several clean dry beakers, mortar and pestle, litmus paper,
phenoftalein indicator, dropper.
What to do:
From the apparatus and the samples given above,
1. Using litmus paper to test the samples.
- Prepare each sample using beakers
- Test each sample by putting the litmus paper into the beakers containing the
sample
- Write down the color of litmus paper after it is soaked in the sample
