Science work with Mrs Van Zyl






We were learning about acid and bases. We started off by pouring some purple cabbage juice into 5 glasses to use as indicators. Then we added baking soda, bleach, lemon, dishwashing powder and citric acid to each of the cabbage juice glasses to see what colour reaction would happen. We found that the bleach turned the cabbage juice to a yellowish color. Next the lemon juice turned the cabbage juice red. Then the baking soda turned the cabbage juice blue. The dishwashing powder turned the cabbage juice green. Lastly the citric acid turned the cabbage juice red. It was a fun activity to experiment with. Imagine what these things are doing to the inside of our tummys! I wonder what color it is inside there?
