Thru the Microscope

Mr. Worthington has been killed! Students must solve this mystery using pH indicators; red cabbage and turmeric. Students test each suspect's evidence and identifies the killer through pH testing. Students LOVED this mystery. It is a way for students to apply their knowledge of pH, indicators and problem solving skills! Answer key includes "Who dunnit?" answer and explanation.

The most safest, fun lab for students to look at the differences in compounds! In this lab, I created a mystery (including students and staff in the story) that allows students to solve using FIRE! Since my classroom does not have gas, I was able to create a flame test lab using Popsicle sticks. Students were able to see a variety of flame colors and were able to connect that to the mystery. Included in the lab is a list of materials, detailed procedures and conclusion questions.
