Description
United’s series of STEM based curriculum kits accent the scientific method and independent inquiry, featuring hands-on learning materials and exciting interactive digital content. Kits contain structured, guided, and open investigations, at introductory, intermediate, and advanced levels, to make inquiry-based learning affordable and fun.
This kit is a unique teaching tool for introducing your students to the chemistry behind plant pigments (the blueberry biopigment cyanidan) and how they can be used as pH indicators and fabric dyes. Students use their knowledge to create their own pH test strips and evaluate them against a commercial type.
Includes materials for four detailed activities featuring ‘model’ and ‘inquiry’ investigation paths – a total of 11 investigational activities. Includes enough materials for up to 40 students, as well as digital content including teacher and student guides.
Covered concepts include: data analysis, accuracy vs. precision, biopigment structure, pH, pH scale, pH indicators, stains and dyes, acids, bases, acid- base interactions, solutions, and self-ionization of water.
