In this activity, learners examine baking powder, a combination of three powders: baking soda, cream of tartar, and cornstarch.

In this activity on page 2 of the PDF, learners discover how color changes can help scientists distinguish between acids and bases.

Learners mix a variety of substances with red cabbage juice. The juice changes color to indicate whether each substance is an acid or a base.

Learners investigate signs of a chemical reaction when they mix vinegar and baking soda. In addition to a gas being produced, learners also notice the temperature decreases.

Learners use their knowledge of color changes with red cabbage indicator to neutralize an acidic solution with a base and then neutralize a basic solution with an acid.

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

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

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

This activity uses turmeric, a common spice in curry, as an indicator for acidity and basicity. Turmeric is yellow in acid and neutral substances, but turns bright red with bases.

In this simple chemistry activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Colorblind Dogs) about acids and bases, learners will mix a baking soda and water solution and use it to paint a message on a

In this activity, learners will develop a method to test five similar-looking powders (baking soda, baking powder, cream of tartar, detergent, and cornstarch) with four test liquids (water, vinegar, i

In this chemistry activity, learners will test the pH of various foods and household substances using cabbage.

In this introductory activity and demonstration, learners are introduced to the concept that different substances react chemically in characteristic ways.

This is an activity about acid-base reactions using eggs and vinegar. Learners place eggs inside a container of vinegar and leave to soak overnight.

In this physics activity, learners will investigate the strength of egg shells.

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.

In this activity, learners use detergent solution to compare two solutions containing vinegar and cream of tartar.
