Overview & Purpose
As a final experience for the learning of acids and bases, students are invited to pick up some local fruits and take to school. There they will measure the level of acidity by using an iodine/starch solution as indicator, hence they will compare their results with those of other groups Education Standards Addressed
Standard SC3.1: Understanding of the properties of substances; the relationship between the properties of substances and the structures and binding forces between particles; having investigative process for seeking knowledge and scientific reasoning; transferring and putting the knowledge into practice 3. Experiment and explain the principles of substance separation by methods of filtering, crystallization, expunctions, distillation and chromatography, and put the knowledge into practice. Standard SC3.2: Understanding of the principles and the nature of change in the state of substances; the solution formation; the chemical reaction; having investigative process for seeking knowledge and scientific reasoning; transferring and putting the knowledge into practice 3. Search for data and discuss about the effects of chemical substances and chemical reactions on living things and the environment. Teacher Guide Learning Objectives
Students shall be able to: - prepare the indicator (iodine/starch solution) - measure the level of acidity of fruit samples - compare their results with other groups - discuss the experience by analyzing the procedure and the achieved results.
Methodology
This lesson has been developed by using the enquiry based learning strategy and the 5-e model has been instantiated. At first students interest, the Engaging stage, was raised by informing them about the medical properties of vitamin C. Then it was asked where it would be possible to find that medication, to heal their flu, in local fruit, and which one was the best since containing the largest amount of medicament. Students were then asked to Explore the topic by the experience here after described. That saw them very keen into its performing because correlated to their interests. The Explanatory stage was conducted during the presentation of the results of the experience: the teachers role was to elicit the explanation of their understanding by asking wh-kind open questions, and when required, by fixing their mistakes by asking additional questions that would cause a re-thinking of their account. Finally the Evaluation was made by discussing their final report with the whole class and students had the chance to choose the paper they considered more expressive of the obtained results. As Extension they could perform some experiences at home, on the base of their ideas, and by other means easier to find in household products.
Materials needed by 1 group
- Fruit samples - 3 Beaker 100 ml - 3 Test tubes , largest size, with rack - 1 Mortar - 1 graduated cylinder 10ml - 1 spatula - 1 dropper - 1 glass rod - 1 funnel - 1 filter paper - 1 bottle of de-ionized water - 1 complete alcohol burner set - 1 Triple beans scale Assessment
-Observation of students during the experiment - Evaluation of the ability to understand the results - Evaluation of the communication skills - Evaluation of the ability to ask questions - Report paper
Presentation 10 min
The teacher will say how to perform the experience: 1) Students will be asked to prepare the indicator by mixing 2 spatulas of starch in 200 ml of about 10 min until it will become transparent and jelly. 2) 100 g of fruit sample will be weighted and grinded in the mortar. When completely smashed added. The product will be stirred and filtered. 3) In one test tubes will be poured 1 ml of the starch jell prepared at point 1, 9 ml of water and 1 drop of 1% iodine solution. The all will be shaken. 4) Drops of the fruit solution prepared at point 2 will be added to t drops required to turn the indicator color from blue to transparent. 5) The experience will be repeated for the 3 test tubes. Students are expected to count and average the number of drops required the indicator color.
Activitiy 30 min
Students will perform the experience as it was presented, while the teacher will supervise and evaluate their job.
Conclusion 10 min
Students will present the results collected during the experience and they be initiated by the teacher with questions such as: What is the most acid fruit? (that one that requires more or less drops) How many drops do you need on average? When did you notice a variation? Finally, as H.W., they will write a report of experiment.
Summary
-Some interesting question were asked by students: What indicator can we use, if we would like to do at home? Is vitamin C present only in fruits? Does chilly contain Vitamin C? What else can we test with this indicator? The teacher answered to some of these questions,
Other resources
- Handouts explaining will be distributed to the number of elements forming the compound.
