Radical Room 10: Homework

Term 4

Week 1

For our Fizzing and Foaming unit this term we are going to start looking at how we can combine different ingredients to cause reactions. You will recall that when we made lemonade last term you found a reaction between the Lemon Juice (An acid) and the Baking Soda (A base).

One way you can check to see if a substance is an acid is to use Red Cabbage! In the game below you need to add cabbage juice to the drinks to check if they are an Acid, Base or Neutral. Then you must serve the correct drink to your customer or you will make them sick! Have a go!
