The Field Trip

Yesterday I went on a field trip to The Works in Edina. (That's a little museum full of mini inventions.) First, we played with the little inventions for about a half hour. Then we went to a chemistry room and did an awesome experiment.
We put a bunch of red cabbage in a bag with some water we squished the cabbage a little and then the water turned blue because of the chemicals in the cabbage. Then we poured the water into little cups equally. Then we poured in other stuff: ammonia, Windex, orange juice, lemon juice, and milk of magnesia. Then it turned different colors. We found out that the differenter (I made the word "differenter" up.) color it turns the stronger acid or base it is.
