Potions

 Today we made two potions with acids and bases.  For the first one, I added cabbage juice powder to both test tubes.

 Then I added baking soda to the first test tube. The baking soda is a base.  Bases make cabbage juice turn blue.  

Then I added citric acid to the second test tube.  Citric acid is an acid. Acids make the cabbage juice turn red.

I used my wand.

I added the blue base solution to a new test tube.

Then, I added the red acid solution to the base solution.

It fizzed and turned purple again!

The second potion was the magic lava potion. I made a base solution with baking soda and water.  Then I added red cabbage juice powder and vegetable oil.

I added citric acid on top.

When it sunk through the oil, it exploded and made a mess and changed from blue to red!

It was fun!
