MATERIALS:
Baking soda Tap water
Calamansi juice Soft drink
Lye water Gumamela Extract
Salt water Vials
Shampoo Dropper
Detergent Solution Litmus paper
Vinegar Rags

PROCEDURES:
1. Prepare 10 vials.
2. Fill the vials with the materials listed in the table below.
3. Put 3 drops of gumamela extract in each vial.
4. Note the color produced in each vial.
5. Record your observation in the table below.
6. Repeat procedures number 1 and 2. Then test the samples with red and blue
litmus paper.
