Experiments on PH scale

Science

• The child learned about the pH scale and how it measures the acidity or alkalinity of a substance.
• They learned how to conduct experiments to test the pH levels of various substances using litmus paper.
• The child understood that substances with a pH below 7 are acidic, while those with a pH above 7 are alkaline.
• They learned how to interpret the color changes on the litmus paper to determine the pH level of a substance.

For continued development, encourage the child to explore more experiments related to pH scale. They can try testing the pH of different household items or conduct experiments to understand the effects of pH on plant growth or the behavior of certain chemicals.
