Acid/Base Notebook Guide
Essential Question:
*Why does one Swedish lake thrive while the
neighboring lake is dead from acid rain?
Guiding Questions:
*What are acids and bases?
*How are acids and bases measured?
*How does acid rain form?
*What are the causes and effects of acid rain?
A/4 = Deep scientific thinking shown in all
assignments. Research is thorough and includes
additional sources for deep digging, diagrams are
colored, labeled and explained, observations and lab
write ups are thorough and show a deep
understanding of the science concepts behind the
lab/demo/activity.
B/3 = All assignments are complete; more detail
could be added to show greater understanding
C/2 = Basic foundation, all assignments are
included but may be missing parts
D/1 = Not enough work to show understanding,
can’t read/find assignments, missing one or more
assignments
