In this class activity, students will each pick up a cup with a number on it. They will record this number on their worksheet. All of the cups are full of water except one cup number has a weak amount of sodium hydroxide.

This will help to make the cell learning experience become more lasting and memorable

See the download preview for a better understanding of what this worksheet is all about. Enjoy!
