Garfield School 5th grade science students in Ms. Harris's class are having so much fun participating in science experiments. This experiment introduced acids, a group of substances with a reputation for being reactive. In the activity, Acid Test, students discover two ways to detect acids: they use baking soda, which fizzes when mixed with acids, or a special liquid that changes color when mixed with acids. Then, students use those methods to identify common foods that are acidic.
