Tummy trouble – a neutralisation investigation

A practical activity that could be used as part of the KS3 acids and alkalis unit after studying indicators and neutralisation. This is a clear and easy to follow investigation to compare the effectiveness of different indigestion remedies. It guides the students through the method, recording results with readymade tables and drawing conclusions.

The student sheets include practical instructions, a results table and questions to answer about the method and how it could be improved.

Ideas on how to differentiate and extend the activity are included. Technician notes can be found at the start of the resource.
