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

Shell Shifts
Source Institutions
Ocean acidification is a big issue due to the amount of carbon dioxide humans release. CO2 in the atmosphere is absorbed into the ocean thus changing its acidity.

Fruity Electricity
Source Institutions
In this activity, Frankenstein's lab is running out of electricity! Learners use fruit to help Igor find a temporary source of energy to turn on a light.

Color Changes with Acids and Bases
Source Institutions
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.

Change in Temperature: Endothermic Reaction
Source Institutions
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.

Neutralizing Acids and Bases
Source Institutions
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.

New Sense about Cents
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 6 of the PDF (Chemistry—It’s Elemental), learners explore some of the properties of copper using a few common household ingredients.

pH Scale
Source Institutions
In this online interactive simulation, learners will test the pH of liquids like coffee, spit, and soap to determine whether each is acidic, basic, or neutral.

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

Breathing Blue
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners test exhaled breath for carbon dioxide and learn how to use an indicator as a simple way to measure pH.

Cheese: Behold the Power of Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Get Cooking With Chemistry), learners conduct an experiment to get an idea of how cheese is made.

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

Candy Chemistry
Source Institutions
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.

Comparing the Amount of Acid in Different Solutions
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use detergent solution to compare two solutions containing vinegar and cream of tartar.
