A comprehensive and fully resourced lesson on acids, bases and indicators (litmus and the pH scale) for middle school plus a pack of cards for enjoyable and challenging games of wildcard or snap.

The teaching pack contains eighteen resources and it is intended that the teacher uses them 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 i 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.

The game is closely related to the topic content and reinforces learning.
