Today we did some chemistry magic! We learned about acids and bases and pH levels of chemicals. We created our own indicator using red cabbage water to figure out the pH level and determine how acidic or basic a liquid is. We filled four cups with cabbage water and poured either lemon juice, salt water, vinegar, and soapy water. We then watched the liquids INSTANTLY change color. If a liquid was pink, red, or purple, then it was an acidic liquid. If it changed to blue or green, then it was a basic liquid.
