Got Acid?

2011-10-13_001

 We finished our volcano.  Hopefully we’ll finish up our study and get to the real erupting volcano by the end of the week.  I think a field trip to the Big Island is in order.  Can you believe I lived on Hawaii for most of three years and never saw the volcano?

Acid or Base?

The ‘indicator’

 2011-10-17_003

 

2011-10-17_005 Red cabbage juice was our indicator…and I now actually know what that means!  I love first grade chemistry.

 

2011-10-17_007We’re using Real Science 4 Kids.  I am really happy with it.  After Christmas we are going to do the physics one.  Let’s just say I know less about physics than I know about chemistry… 

 

2011-10-17_013 Today Ryan got to taste the experiment.  This was sweet, some were SOUR!

I was supposed to end up with 1 1/2 cups of cabbage juice left over for next week.  I ended up with 1 teaspoon!  So I get to make it all over again next week.  Man am I going to be smart by the end of first grade!
