A Natural Indicator: Turmeric

We had this holiday homework to make a New Year card using Turmeric indicator...I accidentally submitted the card without clicking a pic..so you won't get to see how awesome it was but I'll tell you how i made it....

We require Turmeric and Rubbing Alcohol ( Nail polish remover) to make the paste.




 After making a paste out of these,  by mixing them together (don't make it tooo thick) spread the paste on normal, thin paper.





 Cut the paper into strips and now use your indicator.

Try using soap solution...


The strip turns red when it comes in contact with a base (i.e the soap solution)






Now test using an acid....such as Vinegar....


If you use a new strip then the colur remain the same.....and If you use the used strip that is red because you tested it with a base the red turns back to yellow....


If i get my card back I will upload a picture of it!!

A poem on Muscles.......

MUSCLES

We need them to get up and go to the mall
Without them we would slump like a rag doll
We need them for dancing,smiling and even frowning
They help us swim to shore when we are almost drowning
They are even used for breathing, walking and our vocal cords when we are singing
They make us stand up and go to pick up the phone when it is ringing
Some of them work according to you (voluntary)
Others work non-stop your whole life through
Voluntary muscles help us move our bones
They make our legs jump over stones
There are more than six hundred in our body, all told
The bones up, they hold
They make up forty percent of our body weight
They contract and relax to help us stand straight
The biggest is the Gluteus Maximus in the butt
An example of an involuntary muscle is the gut
Our heart is an involuntary muscle which we can not live without
Our tongue is a voluntary one, inside our mouth
Muscles show unity and work together
They are as strong as leather
One pulls, the other relaxes
The spinal cord sends signals to them, to show reflexes
They can anaerobically respire
Mostly those of sports stars that you aspire
When you are out of breath
They save you from Death

THANKYOU!!!
