- Ask pupils to use a range of reference sources including advertisements to find information about the use of acids and alkalis in a range of everyday situations,
eg hair and skin care, treatment of stings and bites, treatment of indigestion, food preservation, treatment of soil. Ask them to find out how living things use acids,
eg ants, nettles, humans in digestion. Agree with pupils key words they need to use and remind them how to use an index, glossary or search facility. Ask them to identify and note key points about the range of pH used and potential harmful effects, and to explain these to other pupils either orally or by contributing to an information folder.
