    This document describes a student laboratory experiment testing whether camote tops extract can be used as an acid-base indicator. Students formulated hypotheses that camote tops extract is a natural indicator, ammonia water is basic, and calamansi juice is acidic. When exposed to these substances, the extract changed color - turning yellow when mixed with ammonia and red with calamansi, proving it can effectively indicate acids and bases. The experiment allowed students to practice the scientific method and demonstrated the extract's ability to serve as an acid-base indicator.

    ABSTRACT

    This laboratory activity involves acid and bases were conducted to determine if
    camote tops extract can be used as an alternative acid-base indicator. Students
    formulated necessary laboratory protocols and their own procedures to determine
    problem regarding acids and bases using camote tops extract, ammonia water, and
    calamansi juice. Student came up with their own hypotheses that they also tested.
    Camote tops extract was then expected to change its color when exposed to an acid or
    base as its chemical reaction. This study has, however, been able to prove the ability of
    the camote tops extract to retain its effectiveness as an acid-base indicator.

    INTRODUCTION

    This laboratory report presents an over-all activity of the students inside the
    laboratory while conducting an experiment. In this experiment, the student’s scientific
    method skills were tested by means of determining the ability of a camote tops extract
    as an acid-base indicator. Students were tasked to formulate their hypotheses and to
    design their own experiment given a particular set-up. The students formulated
    hypotheses to be proven by their later experiment and form a conclusion in the end.

    EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE

    A. Hypothesis
    1. Camote tops extract is a natural acid-base indicator,
    2. Ammonia water is a basic solution, and
    3. Calamansi is an acidic solution.
    B. Materials and Equipments

    camote tops extract ammonia water

    3 test tubes(small) 2(250ml) beakers

    2 calamansi fruits bunsen burner

    graduated cylinder 2 iron stands and rings

    C. Procedure
    1. Place a beaker that contains camote tops extract on it in the iron stand with a
    flame source (alcohol burner).
    2. Once heated, place the extract on a three separate test tubes.
    3. On one first test tube, drop 1mL of ammonia water.
    4. On the other test tube, drop 1mL of calamansi juice.
    5. On the last test tube, drop both calamansi juice and ammonia water.

    RESULTS
    DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

    The camote tops extract, when mixed with an ammonia water, it turned into color
    yellow indicating a basic solution while on the other hand, when being mixed into
    calamansi juice, the camote taops extract turned red indicating an acidic solution. When
    the camote tops extract was being mixed with ammonia water and calamansi juice, it
    turned yellow at the bottom and green on top. Both hypotheses; a) Camote tops extract
    is a natural acid-base indicator, b) Ammonia water is a basic solution, and c) Calamansi
    is an acidic solution, were proven right.

    CONCLUSION

    This laboratory report has discussed the role of camote tops extract as an acid-
    base indicator and to prove the student’s hypotheses which are camote tops extract is a
    natural acid-base indicator, ammonia water is a basic solution, and calamansi is an
    acidic solution. In the experiment conducted by the students, camote tops extract was
    proven to be an acid-base indicator because it turned red when mixed with calamansi
    while yellow when mixed with ammonia water, and yellow at the bottom and green on
    top when mixed with both calamansi juice and ammonia water. This laboratory activity
    was intended for the students to improve their knowledge regarding to this topic and
    enhance their scientific method skills.
