Lesson at a glance

What pupils will learn

Students will be able to understand the effect of mixing acids and alkalis and the chemical reactions that occur as a result.
Students will be able to learn how to neutralise the effect of acids and alkalis.
Students will understand the word equation for neutralisation: Acid + Alkali → Salt + Water.

Curriculum

UK: Year 7–9 Science, National Curriculum (England)
Topic area: Acids, Alkalis and Chemical Reactions
US equivalent: Grades 6–8 (year level only; not mapped to US standards)

What the lesson covers

What Happens When an Acid and an Alkali Are Mixed?
Neutralisation — A Chemical Reaction
The Word Equation for Neutralisation
Summary: Neutralisation

How it is interactive

12 multiple-choice questions
2 fill-in-the-blank questions
2 sorting and ordering tasks
1 sentence-writing task

Feedback and what you get

Questions are marked automatically as pupils answer: a sound and a character reaction show straight away whether they are right, and correct answers earn points, with a results screen at the end. Sentence-writing tasks are for pupils' own answers and are not marked automatically.

A 24-slide interactive lesson that runs in any web browser on a computer, tablet or interactive whiteboard. Members open it online from their year group page. Buying it on its own gives you a .zip download to unzip and open.

Neutralisation is one of those KS3 chemistry ideas that only really sinks in once students see acids and alkalis actually cancel each other out. This neutralisation of acids and alkalis lesson gives students exactly that, through drag-and-drop and self-marking activities.

Students work through fluency, reasoning and problem-solving questions on neutralisation of acids and alkalis, with instant feedback throughout.

Mastering Neutralisation of Acids and Alkalis in KS3 Science

This resource covers the Key Stage 3 curriculum area of acids, alkalis and neutralisation reactions, and is part of a three-part chemistry set alongside Universal Indicators and the pH Scale and Acids and Alkali fundamentals.

What’s Included

Three-part interactive lesson
Self-marking drag-and-drop activities
Fluency, reasoning and problem-solving questions on neutralisation of acids and alkalis

Key Benefits for Students

Builds understanding of neutralisation through interactive practice, not just theory
Reasoning questions push beyond simple recall
Instant feedback supports independent revision

Why Teachers Love It

No prep, self-marking
Three-part structure fits neatly into one lesson
Pairs naturally with the related pH and acids topics below

Real-World Uses

Neutralisation reactions aren’t just a textbook idea — indigestion remedies, soil treatment and wastewater processing all rely on the same acid-alkali chemistry students practise here. Connecting neutralisation of acids and alkalis to these real applications gives the topic weight beyond the exam.
