On Friday, Mrs. Donelson's freshman biology students tested how their own breath can change the chemistry of a solution. By blowing bubbles into Bromothymol Blue (pH indicator), the CO2 they exhaled formed carbonic acid, dropping the pH and turning the liquid from blue to yellow. They are leaving their solutions under a UV light over the weekend and will make new observations on Monday! 🧪
