pH and Red Cabbage

 by Koma Ogaye and Roberta Natera

"pH & Red Cabbage" ProjectKoma Ogaye and Roberta Natera
Koma and Roberta explained to the class what an indicator was, and how it worked. The talked about acids and bases and explained that the juice from the boiled red cabbage would change color if an acid or base was added to it. They demonstrated this procedure to the class.
Problem, Hypothesis, Information, Materials
As part of our GLOBE
study, students take
the pH of rain water
and water from ponds
in 15 km area around
our study site. Our
students wanted to try
the red cabbage juice
as part of their study.
These students now
use the juice, pH
indicator paper and a
pH meter to test their
water samples
The large drawings were a great aide for those who could not read from our inclusion program.
