Description
Red cabbage juice can be used as an indicator for acids and bases since it changes color depending on what it mixes with. This lesson gives full instructions for making cabbage juice indicator with your class, a procedure sheet for students to record observations as they use the indicator to test materials, and extension activities to deepen understanding. Extensions start on page 26 and include Test Household Substances, Reverse Color Changes, and Inquiry Opportunity: Other Plant Indicators. Part of the 21-activity guide published by OMSI, No Hassle Messy Science with a Wow. All activities in this guide use household materials and all lesson plans include preparation directions, demonstrations, procedure sheets, cross-curricular connections, and scientific explanation of content.
