Acids Bases and Indicators Escape Room for Middle school
Finish and reinforce a middle school lesson on acids, bases and indicators (litmus and the pH scale) or revisit it prior to exams with this innovative, enjoyable and challenging escape room lesson.
Students must work their way through the clues to find the code to a combination lock on the school storeroom where Thumper the school rabbit has been accidentally locked without food or water…
Prior Knowledge Required
An acid is a substance which contains hydrogen, tastes sour, turns blue litmus red and has a pH between 0 and 6.
A base is a substance which is the oxide or hydroxide of a metal, feels soapy, turns red litmus blue and has a pH between 8 and 14.
Concentrated acids and bases are corrosive.
Know that neutral substances are neither acidic nor alkaline.
The pH of strong acids (0 – 2), weak acids (3 – 6), neutral substances (7), weak bases (8 – 11) and strong bases (12 – 14).
Hydroxides are soluble bases.
Many foods contain dilute weak acids and bases and some example.
Recognise the formula of some acids and bases.
What You Get
PowerPoint – scene setting and instructions (sound effects and built-in timer);
crossword;
word search;
dominoes activity;
worksheet;
code breaker sheet;
answers;
lesson plan.
If time is limited just the crossword, word search and domino can be used. The worksheet is the most challenging clue to solve and this can be omitted completely for less able classes.
Both 3 and 4 number combination locks can be purchased very cheaply online or the teacher can pretend to phone the school office for the staff to attempt to release the rabbit

Acids Bases and Indicators Explained - Fully Resourced Lesson KS3
This fully resourced lesson on acids, bases and indicators (litmus and the pH scale) for middle school includes an animated PowerPoint which:
identifies an acid as a substance which contains hydrogen, tastes sour, turns blue litmus red and has a pH between 0 and 6;
identifies a base as a substance which is the oxide or hydroxide of a metal, feels soapy, turns red litmus blue and has a pH between 8 and 14;
states that that hydroxides are soluble bases;
states that neutral substances are neither acidic nor alkaline;
states that for neutral substances, red litmus stays red and blue litmus stays blue;
states that the pH of strong acids (0 – 2), weak acids (3 – 6), neutral substances (7), weak bases (8 – 11) and strong bases (12 – 14);
explains concentrated and dilute in terms of solute and solvent particles;
states that concentrated acids and bases are corrosive;

Periodic Table of Elements Fully Resourced Lesson Plus Find the Pair Game KS3
A comprehensive and fully resourced lesson on the periodic table of elements plus an enjoyable yet challenging find the pair game.
The teaching pack contains a fully animated PowerPoint and eighteen resources. It is intended that the teacher selects the appropriate printables to build their own unique lesson to take account of student ability and time available. Literacy, oracy, self-assessment and peer assessment are all built in to the resources. These features are clearly marked on the comprehensive one-page flow chart lesson plan which shows where the logical choices between resources can be made. There are three differentiated and engaging homeworks which can also be used as classwork if so desired.
The game is closely related to the topic content and reinforces learning.
What’s Covered
Elements are arranged in the periodic table in order of atomic number.
Metals are on the left of the table and non – metals on the right with a zig – zag line dividing the two.
Some of the metals touching the zig – zag are semi – metals or metalloids which means they have some properties of metals and of non – metals.
Vertical columns are called groups and horizontal rows are called periods.
Each period starts with metals on the left and end with non – metals on the right.
The elements within each group have similar physical and chemical properties.
Group 1 are the alkali metals. Group 2 are the alkaline earth metals. Group 7 are the halogens. Group 0 are the rare or noble gases. The central block are the transition metals.
On the left – hand side of the table, reactivity increases as you go down a group and on the right – hand side of the table reactivity increases as you go up a group.
Group 1: can be cut with a knife; must be stored under oil; low density – lithium, sodium and potassium float on water; form compounds which are solid at room temperature; form compounds with similar formulae – LiCl. NaCl. Group 7;are all colored; react with hydrogen to form acids; react with metals to form salts.
Alkali metal + water alkali metal hydroxide + hydrogen
lithium + water lithium hydroxide + hydrogen
Group 0 are all inert gases – they do not react with other elements
Transition metals; except for mercury, which is a liquid, these are harder than group 1 metals; have high melting points; react slowly with atmospheric oxygen.
