What you'll learn

  2. 2

    Which of these is an acid? 🍋

  3. 3

    Drag the pH scale to show where lemon juice belongs — it's an acid, so it should be on the left side.

    Let's test a mystery liquid 🧪 — it turns blue litmus paper red. What is it?

  5. 5

    What colour does blue litmus paper turn in an acid? 🧪
