2 Learning Intention and Success Criteria - 2015

This document outlines a lesson plan titled "Colourful Chemistry" about acids and bases. It discusses how acids and bases apply to everyday life through examples of tooth decay and acid rain. The lesson will teach students to identify acids and bases using indicators, understand the pH scale and acid/base strength, and describe the neutralization reaction. Students will learn key terms and how to classify substances as acidic, basic, or neutral. The goal is for students to understand where acids and bases are found, their properties, and how neutralization is used in everyday situations.

The Three Big Ideas


1. How can Indicators be
used to tell the
difference between an
acid and a base?
2. How does the pH scale
relate to the strength of
an acid or a base?

Tip: During the topic identify the Learning intention being covered and attempt the Success criteria for each. Colour the box at the end
green = the criteria was easy, orange =still need some help, red = had no idea. You can then ask your teacher for help where you need
it.
