Acids and Bases
(Principles): Avoid falling in a
lake of acid!
Synopsis
Watch out! You have discovered a lake on an exoplanet – but is it acidic or basic? You will
surely know by the end of this one! You’ll have the chance to experiment with strong
acids and bases to figure out how to reach a “neutral” pH.
If this simulation seems too “basic” for you, don’t worry as you’ll have the chance to deal
with acids, too. In this simulation, you will learn about pH and pOH by mixing substances
to reach a certain pH and sort various liquids by acidity.
What is the acidity of water?
Have Dr. One guide you as you learn the different definitions of acids and bases and get
hands-on experience experimenting with different solutions. Recreate the pH from skin
lotions using only acids and bases and precision pouring techniques.
Return to the exoplanet
In the Acids and Bases (Principles) simulation, you are taken back to the exoplanet
Astakos IV by accident. Here, you will collect a sample from a highly acidic lake. Your
mission is to compare the sample with everyday solutions found at home, in the kitchen
or in your classroom.
The pH of foods
You will briefly dive into the effects of eating certain foods. How will different acidic or
basic foods affect your blood pH? And how do they compare in pH to other types of food?
