The module walks the audience through the science behind the pH scale while using a red cabbage concentrate as a pH indicator. The presenters will describe the differences between acids and bases such as taste (sour for acids, bitter for bases), texture (soapy for bases), chemical structure (-H or –OH presence), approximately 5 minutes. Afterward, students will be presented with safe, household solutions such as vinegar, coffee, and lemon juice for acids and dish soap, egg whites, and baking soda solution for bases. Then, with the new information, they can then make guesses on whether the...

The present module deals with the analysis of surface tension, as it varies with two surfactants; liquid soap and detergent and with the increase of temperature. Therefore, first the experiment will be performed in water at room temperature and then in warm water. The experiment consists of moving a boat (of disposable plate material), by the action of the surfactant's force with the water molecule.
