Home Lab: Natural pH Indicator Experiment

This document provides instructions for an experiment to test various household substances as acids, bases, or neutral using natural litmus paper made from red flower petals. Students are asked to prepare solutions of baking soda, detergent, and other substances. They will then make red and blue litmus paper from flower petals and test each solution by observing color changes on the litmus paper, grouping the substances as acidic, basic, or neutral.

buds, bond paper, scissor, container (glass) for the solutions.
Preparation of solutions:
Add 1 teaspoonful of each solid powder into the glass of water, half full. Use these

1. Take some rose/gumamela (red) petals and rub it to a piece of paper making it color
red/pink/purple until the paper is fully covered.
2. Then cut the paper into small strips.
3. Divide the strips into 2 groups.
4. Using a cotton bud dipped in lemon juice,
- Rub the wet cotton bud unto the first group of strips until darker red/pink/purple, this
group will serve as your red litmus paper.
- On the 2nd group, dip the cotton bud unto the baking soda solution and rub it unto the
paper strips. This group will serve as the blue litmus paper.
5. Test the solutions (Lemon juice, vinegar, baking soda, water, washing powder solution
or detergent solution, soap, milk, coffee, buko juice, soy sauce and water) by dipping
half of the strip into each of the solution and record your result.
6. Group the solutions into acids, basic, and neutral.
