In this chemistry demonstration, learners will discover that phenolphthalein is a chemical that displays different colors depending on the acidity or basicity of the environment.

Visitors prepare six solutions combining vinegar and ammonia that range incrementally from acid (all vinegar) to base (all ammonia).

In this activity, learners test the pH of safe liquids available at home by creating a pH indicator from mashed blueberries.

Using electrolysis, learners produce hydrogen gas and oxygen gas from water molecules in a solution.

Learners make their own acid-base indicator from red cabbage. They use this indicator to test substances around the house.

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make a plastic protein polymer from milk. Adding vinegar to milk causes the protein casein to solidify or curdle.

In this investigation, learners plant seeds in a 2-liter bottle filled with soil that is connected to a water source below. Over the next few weeks, learners observe how the plants grow.

This lesson gives full instructions for making cabbage juice indicator, a procedure sheet for learners to record observations as they use the indicator to test materials, and extension activities to d

In this chemistry challenge, learners combine acids and bases in a universal indicator to create five different colors.

In this activity, learners discover how a cabbage juice indicator helps identify acids and bases, and how iodine indicates the presence of starch.

In this experiment, learners test multiple food items to see if they are an acid or base using an indicator solution created with red cabbage.

Learners make kimchee or sauerkraut, which is really just fermented cabbage, in a 2-liter plastic bottle.

"What's in the Water" lets participants use tools to solve the mystery- what chemicals and compounds are in a sample of water?
