Lesson No.: Week 8 Date: Day 3

Lesson Title/ Topic:

Name: Grade & Section:

I. Activity No. 3: The Power of a Chemical Indicator (20 Minutes)

II. Objective(s): At the end of the activity, the learners will be able to identify which among the
solutions are acids, base, and salt.

III. Materials Needed:

Litmus paper (red and blue) vinegar distilled water
10 plastic cups dishwashing liquid tap water
Dropper baking soda baking powder
Stirrer coffee calamansi
Plastic teaspoons toothpaste paper towel
Plant extract indicators (alugbati, eggplant, purple cabbage, camote tops etc)
ph paper/meter (if available)

IV. Instructions:
You will work in groups. Observe safety protocols in performing experiments.

Safety Notes:
Be careful when handling substances.
Do not taste samples for this activity.
Do not touch the samples with bare hands.
Use appropriate safety precautions and equipment..
Throw waste properly.
Clean the working table after the activity.
Wash hands after the activity.

The litmus paper is a strip of paper that is chemically

treated with a dye. This strip is placed in the liquid
sample to determine the solutions as acid, base or salt.
There are two types of litmus paper: blue and red. The
blue litmus paper changes to red in acidic solutions while
the red litmus paper changes to blue in basic solutions. If
the litmus paper does not change color in both blue and
red litmus papers, the test solution might be a salt. use
the table on the right as a guide as you proceed in this
activity.

o Experiment Procedure

Science 7 Quarter 1 7
 1. Prepare 20 strips of litmus paper (10 blue and 10 red)
2. Place one (1) teaspoon of each sample in a plastic cup. Label the cups with a masking
tape and a marker.
3. In each cup, dip one (1) red and one (1) blue litmus paper for about 10 seconds then
remove. Observe any color change
4. Be sure to put the paper towel under the test strips so that there will be no spill of any
substances on the countertops.
5. Record the change in color of the litmus paper in the correct column of the table.
6. Fill in the last column of the table. Use the Litmus Test Matrix as reference.
