This lesson unit introduces students to the concepts of acids and bases in the context of tooth decay. Students will carry out experiments to verify the relationship between sugar, bacteria, and acid in causing tooth decay, as well as exploring the process of remineralization and how substances can dissolve and be separated in solutions. The unit also emphasizes the importance of science communication and teaching in supporting the wellbeing of the community.
