One of the options to determine whether a solution is acidic or basic (alkaline) is to make a pH indicator from red cabbage.
How does it work?
Red cabbage contains a water-soluble pigment called “anthocyanin”. The pigment changes when it is mixed with acidic solutions (pH less than 7) or with basic solutions (pH greater than 7). In neutral solutions (pH equal to 7) the color will stay the same. We can determine the changes according to the colors of “Red cabbage pH indicator colors”.

Tom wanted to identify the acidic substances in his kitchen among the following: milk, lemon juice, water and baking soda. Tom tested the substances with red cabbage juice. What he found out about the four solutions?
I challenge you to check another substances in your kitchen!
I enjoyed reading your assignment. The picture of PH indicate and the experiment helps to understand the subject, gives enough information to answer the question and makes the learning fun.
Your explanation is easy to read and to understand, but I think you need to explain what determine the PH level (H3O+).
You didn't use the map. You can put points in different places (for example- in the sea) and explain what the PH there and why.
Beside this two points I think you did a great work.
Rozenblum Yael and Hajouj khawla thank you for
your comments.
The question related to
students that have learned how to determine pH level. I think adding another
information and explanation about what determine the pH level will make
the question too long.
I added another point on the map-Orange juice.
Now there is two points on
the map (one where I made the experiment and the second about Orange juice).
