6. Cabbage Chemistry

Materials Needed: red cabbage leaf, water, blender, bowl and a long cylinder to pour the ingredient in it.

Put the red cabbage leaf in a blender full of water and grind it. After you finish blending it, you need to strain it out in a bowl. What you just poured in the bowl is an acid-base indicator. In order to make the cabbage chemistry experiment, you will also need a long cylinder to pour the ingredients in it. After this, you will add a base to it and if you stir it you will notice the water color has changed. Add one piece of dry ice into the cylinder and you will see how the colors will start changing. It is absolutely amazing.
