4. Students will create a "weighted" list using vocabulary words from all the previous quizzes.
5. Students will copy and paste this list into wordle to create a word cloud.

B. Development-

1. Demonstrate pH Scale
2. Explain Safety when handling acids and bases.
3. Describe the properties of acids and bases.
4. Students will print their word cloud and bring it to class the next day.

C. Practice-

1.Go round to each group and get them started
