INDICATER!!

Acid or Base??


Materials:
15ml unsweetened grape juice
Water
1 Teaspoon baking soda
Vinegar
3 glasses


Instructions


Line up the three glasses in a line.


Pour water into the 1st glass, baking soda into the second glass and vinegar into the third glass.


Now, add some unsweetened grape juice to all the glasses.
