In this fun peanut activity, students will make peanuts “dance” in an acid solution.

This resource was created as a take-home page to accompany the activities included in my Acids and Bases resource. Institute of Physics granted permission for me to include Marvin and Milo’s Dancing Peanuts activity.

You will LOVE my Acids and Bases Activities. They were created to be easy to teach and fun to use. The activities all use materials that are easy to find.

Three hands-on activities are included:

• Acid/Base Taste Test – Students experience the differences in taste between a common acidic beverage and a common alkaline beverage.
• Formulating Fizz – Students will discover if changing the amount of a reactant changes the rate of the reaction.
• Cabbage Juice Chemistry – Students will make their own acid-base indicator using cabbage juice.

This resource is for:

• Homeschool Parents
• Homeschool Co-op Teachers
• Christian School Teachers
• Classroom Teachers
• Enrichment Teachers

Three hands-on activities are included:

• Forwards and Backwards – Students will make acidic and basic solutions and then try to return them to neutral.
• pH Potion – Students will observe the changes in pH that take place as an antacid dissolves in simulated stomach acid.
• pH Rainbow – Students will learn how to use pH indicator strips to test the pH and universal indicator to test the pH of various samples.
