Class Description: High school, grades 9-10; integrated science honors course. Students are of heterogeneous ability levels- below , average, above average. We have just completed your unit on chemical reactions. In this lesson we will introduce solutions, acids, and bases that are used to make chemical reactions.
Unit: Solutions, Acids, and Bases
Topic: Solutions
Unit Goals: At the conclusion of the unit, students will be able to:
1. Identify the different types of solutions.
2. Explain what how solutions are formed.
3..Compare and Contrast acids and bases.
Lesson Objectives: Student will:
1. Write the definitions for the following terms: solution, solute, solvent, aqueous solution.
2. Describe three solutes and three solvents that you encounter in your life every day.
3. Classify the three types of solutions (liquid, gas, solid) when given an example of the solution.
