Today we learned about Andy Acid. He knows a lot about acidic foods and how they affect our bodies.
We learned that when we eat to many foods with acid it may cause us to have a tummy ache.
Andy acid created a special formula to test food for acids. This helps him discover which foods and substances have acids in them.
WE TRIED ANDY'S STRAWBERRY JAM EXPERIMENT!
Jam is an indicator that tells if a substance is an acid or a base. When ammonia is added to the jam and water, it is supposed to turn blue, indicating that it is a base. When vinegar, is added, the water with jam should turn red.
Our jam must have had TOO MANY preservatives because our water did not turn blue or red. However, when we poured the ammonia in, the water turned darker and the vinegar made the water turn lighter. Next, time we will be sure to use homemade strawberry jam or jelly.
Sometimes SCIENCE is unpredictable!
But, we love it!
