Making Indicators

Aim: To make indicators out of household items

Indicators:

  • Tea
  • Cabbage
  • Beetroot
  • Cranberry Juice
  • Tumeric
Indicators Acid Base
Tea (clear yellow) Clear yellow Yellowish Orange
Cabbage (purple) Pinkish hot red greenish light yellow
Beetroot (purple) Dark Purple Dim Yellow
Cranberry Juice (light red) Light reddish pink Lime Green
Tumeric (yellow) Yellow Orange

These can be used to tell us is something is an acid, a base or a neutral.

In conclusion

If the colour changes into a very different colour that is not similar to the colour you had before, it indicates whether if it is a base or an acid

  2. Good job Steph, I like the way you did the blog so neatly 🤭 🤭 🤭 🤭 🤭
    I can understand your blog easily and it’s easy to look that.

    What I’ve learnt from your blog is that you made household indicators to experiment how the pH indicator works.
