Acids, Bases And The pH Scale (Product Code: SLE/CH/101) is a classroom lab activity kit used to teach the differences between acids and bases, the role of hydrogen and hydroxide ions and the meaning of the pH scale in secondary school chemistry. It holds enough materials for 15 groups, who test pH indicators, check household materials and identify four unknown clear solutions. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as a ready-to-teach acid base indicator kit.

The lesson builds in three steps. Groups first record the colour each indicator shows in known acids and bases, then apply those indicators to everyday household materials to place them on the pH scale, and finally combine their observations to deduce what each of the four unknown solutions is. Because the unknowns are clear, students cannot guess by appearance and must rely on evidence, so the final task is a good check of understanding.
Photocopy the student masters before class, set out one station per group, and make sure everyone wears eye protection when acids and bases are on the bench. To extend the lesson, add pH indicator paper or a pH meter so groups can compare indicator colours with a measured value. Departments that order from a lab chemicals supplier in India can list this kit with their other acid–base consumables so the practical is ready each term.
This activity kit is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and is based in Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources and supplies teaching kits, reagents and consumables for schools, colleges and distributors, so the kit can be quoted together with indicator paper, pH meters and dropper bottles on one order.
