from red cabbage; Determine the acidity of common household substances
and common soft drinks; Analyze Acid/Alkali effect on plants and metals. C2- Chemical Chat: Enjoy the sound of chemical reaction when you add
an Alka-Seltzer tablet into a glass of water; Observe and learn how a)
temperature, b) particle size and c) concentration regulate the rate of a
reaction; Learn why color develops when 2 colorless liquid embrace each
other. F2-Find Fingerprint: Learn the science behind finding the fingerprint anywhere
and everywhere; become a BioMedTrack Detective to find who enters your classroom and/or works on your bench in your absence. L2-Layering Label: Learn the difference between density & specific gravity;
