Objectives
(SWBAT)

By the end of this class, students will be able to perform a titration to determine
the amount of Vitamin C in fruit juice.

Big Idea

Food contains the nutrients we need to survive.

Subject Specific
Competencies

Seeks answers or solutions to scientific or technological problems.

Carries out the plan of action
Analyzes his/her results

Progression of
Learning Topics

1. Types of foods
a. Describes the main biological functions of the different food
constituents (water, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins,
minerals)
b. Associates food constituents with their main sources (e.g.
proteins with meat and meat substitutes)

Materials needed

Vitamin C Lab handout

Vitamin C Excel sheet
10 Vitamin C Lab Set Ups
10mL beaker
White paper
Apple Juice
Pineapple Juice
Lugols Solution
Disposable Pipets
Ascorbic Acid standard solution
Orange Juice
Starch Solution

Context

We have completed the nutrition and digestion unit. Due to time constraints and
the end of term we werent able to do the lab during the unit. Students should be
very comfortable with the idea of foods containing different levels of nutrients.

Learning Activity #1: Introduction to Vitamin C Lab

Students will be split into 10 groups using their lab benches. 3 members from
each bench will be in a group, with the remaining members forming 2 groups on
either side of the room.
Students will be reminded of the lab safety rules and told to always wear their
lab goggles and tie up their hair during the lab.
I will then introduce the activity by reading through the introduction, purpose and
safety precautions.
They will then be given 2 minutes to write a short hypothesis. I will remind them
that their hypothesis has to have a reason explaining why they believe they will
get these results.
I will then quickly go through the procedure with them before handing out the
materials. I will bring the materials to each group and only give them to groups
that have their goggles on and hair tied back

Learning Activity #2: Vitamin C Lab

Students will gather data that can be used to calculate the amount of Vitamin C
in different fruit juices. First, they will have to create a standard by calculating
how much Lugols solution is needed to fully react a known amount of Vitamin C.
They will then calculate how the amount of Lugols needed to react completely
with the Vitamin C in different fruit juices. They can then compare this amount to
the standard to estimate the total amount of Vitamin C in their samples.
Once they have gathered all they data, they will be asked to clean up their
station and return their materials. Their materials will be checked to make sure
everything was returned properly.
They will then have the rest of the class to finish the analysis section of the lab
handout.
During the lab, I will be circulating to answer any questions and make sure
students are respecting the lab safety rules. As much as possible, I want
students to try and follow the procedure without my help. Consequently, Im not
going to answer questions that can be answered by reading the procedure
unless it is absolutely necessary.
If students finish early, they will be given a respiration worksheet to work on till
the end of the period.
Assessment: Vitamin C Lab Handout
The lab handout will be used as an assessment for this class.
Homework: No homework.

Differentiation

Students will have the opportunity to work in groups and perform hands-on
science.
