Material Matters: Acid & Bases

Hello!
This book is by Carol Baldwin. Have you ever tasted soap before? YYYYUUUUK! It's bitter! That is because soap is a base. How about water? It's a neutral. Lemons are acidic, so on the chart, it is #2. Water is #7(neutral). Bases, like bread, is between #10 & #11. The chart is from #0 to #14. #0 could be so acdic, that it can burn your skin! What does the swimming pool be related to this? Read it to find out!! I thought this book has a lot of detail and also covers up the main point of acids and bases too!!

Rachel,

I found this to be very interesting.

When we did the experiment, I thought i was using the most mildest soap and then realized it was one of the harshest.

Science is neat!
