Titration Graphing Activity - Acid/Base Neutralization
In this graphing activity, students will graph titration data of a strong base being titrated into an unknown acid. Students will graph the mL of the known base and the pH of solution. In completing a graphical analysis, students will identify the equivalence point, half equivalence point, and pKa on their graph. Once their graph is complete, students will calculate the molar mass of the unknown acid from the given information in order to determine the acid’s unknown identity from a given list o

Experience
I am a fifth year science teacher with experience in biology, chemistry, physics, and marine biology. This year, I am teaching Chemistry in the Earth System and Marine Science with CTE credit.

Teaching style
My teaching style focuses on connecting students to the world around them with inquiry based learning. Straying away from direct instruction, I hope to help guide students in exploration to come to their own understanding of the materials.
My own education history
I have a BS of Chemistry Education with an endorsement in Biology and Physics and a MA in Earth Science Education.
Additional biographical information
My Chemistry and Biology sources incorporate Earth Science topics and/or Relateable Phenomena as a way to connect students to the world around them.
I suggest looking at my Year Long Standards Outline for both my Chemistry and Biology courses to see how I mix and match Earth Science NGSS with my two core classes.
