These two physical science/chemistry lesson plans for grades 6-9 are both lab activities. One involves using acid/base indicators to test the acidity or alkalinity of common household chemicals, and the other involves testing how different factors affect the solubility of substances in water. Both are designed to deepen understanding of acid mine drainage by helping students investigate the nature of acidic substances and what factors might cause harmful minerals to fall out of solution in streams.
