Red Cabbage Indicator (Science)

 Aim: 

I want to find out how to tell if something is an acid. 

Method:

Equipment

• Beaker
• Red cabbage 
• Boiling water
• Dropper 
• Test tubes 
• Different samples for testing

Instructions:

1. Get your equipment all ready.
2. Tear the cabbages into small bits, into your beaker.
3. Add about 100ml of boiling water into the beaker. (Your boiling water needs to take out the colour of the cabbage).
4. Then wait until the colour of the beaker turns purple. 
5. Then you get your hydrochloric acid and hydroxide. 
6. Then pour your hydrochloric acid and hydroxide into your test tube then add the red cabbage water. 
7. And see what colour it turned out to be. 

Result:

It made different amazing colours because of the hydroxide and hydrochloride. And if you keep experimenting maybe you'll be able to make more different colours.
