Students will learn about acids and bases through a class discussion and then test a dilute acid and dilute base with neutral litmus paper to learn how the paper indicates something is acidic or basic. Once that skill is learned they can move on to test some common items that would be found around their house to determine if they are acids or bases. Optional: Extra litmus paper is included to test more items either from home or around the school building for a greater understanding of acids and bases. The activity contains enough materials for 6 groups of students.
Learn about acids, bases, and pH indicators with our red cabbage juice kit. A pH indicator is a chemical that behaves differently depending on the pH level it is exposed to. Red cabbage juice is a natural pH indicator that changes color from red to purple to yellow-green as the pH of a solution increases. Test out different substances to determine if they are acidic or basic, and see if you can make all six colors found on the color chart!
Kit Includes: 20 g Red cabbage powder Scoop Pipette Plastic beaker Red cabbage juice color chart
