The pH Scale and Acid/Base Solutions - Alternative Assessment

This is meant to be an alternative form of assessment to MCQ problems. Includes all necessary student materials, a grading rubric, and an answer key.

Students use a virtual simulation to determine the pH of varying substances and state how the pH of those substances are altered by adding water to them. Students then utilize a different virtual simulation to analyze the components of acids and bases. Finally, students address a culturally relevant connection to the information by determining the pH of foods from their cultural heritage and how that food could affect their long term health.
