Aim: To make acid-base indicator using everyday substance
Method: Chop the cabbage into small pieces until you have enough to fill 2 cups.
Place the cabbage in a large beaker and add water to cover the cabbage.
Boil over a Bunsen burner for at least ten minutes for the colour to leach out of the cabbage.
Filter out the plant material to obtain a red-purple-bluish coloured liquid. This liquid is about pH 7. (The exact colour you get depends on the pH of the water.)
Place in a small beaker and lave to one side.
Repeat this method for the beetroot.
Discussion: I think what happened was we used the cabbage which was the indicator then use a squeeze thing or a pipette then we took a bit of the cabbage then put it on the other items such as tea and turmeric.
Conclusion: It worked
