Testing Acids and Bases with Litmus Paper in Chemistry I

May 13, 2012

Again feeling a bit like Inga in my son’s latest science lab with Dr. Jay Wile, I photographed the mere results of his latest experiment.

Using litmus paper, my son learned how to use them to test for acids and bases with different types of common household items.

We are nearing the end of our school year, which means the chemistry labs will soon be completed.

My son has thoroughly enjoyed learning from Dr. Wile via his text and resources.

Whenever I ask what’s happening, I receive a fully detailed report from my son.

As much as he has enjoyed chemistry this year, he’s excited about starting physics next year!
