The pH Scale

The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is, ranging from 0 to 14. This chemistry concept has real-world applications. For example, strawberries grow best in soil with a specific pH. Safe drinking water must have a pH within a certain range too. Readers will learn more about pH, the scale, how substances are tested, and how pH can change in this accessible volume, a valuable addition to any elementary science collection. Essential curricular information is supported by Learn More fact boxes, labeled diagrams, and a summarizing graphic organizer.
