Use the pH paper to develop a table and graph of the pH of common things around your home. Think in terms of at least 10 different liquids.

1. Milk      pH 6
2. Lemon lime gatorade    pH 4
3. Pickle juice     pH 5
4. Diet cranberry juice     pH 3
5. Wild island boones farm     pH 5
6. Dawn dish soap     pH 8
7. Balsamic vinegar     pH 4
8. Cidar vinegar     pH  3
9. White distilled vinegar   pH 5
10. 7 up    pH 4

Develop an experiment to see how much antacid is needed to neutralize an acidic liquid.

I place 1/4 cup of diet cranberry juice in a cup and added 1 crushed up tums. I stirred the cranberry juice with the tums in it and then waited 5 minutes before checking the pH.  The pH of the cranberry juice was 3 but after added the tums the pH was a 7.  The tums worked!
