In February and March 2016, Rachel Miller (PhD student in the Food Safety Lab at Cornell University) introduced basic chemistry concepts to a local elementary school class as part of the Cornell GRASSHOPR program. Over the course of three weeks, students, equipped with pipettors and lab notebooks, learned: i) how cabbage juice can be used as a pH indicator to determine the pH of different foods ii) which common foods are basic, and which are acidic iii) how calcium ions can bridge sodium alginate particles to form 'gummy worms' |
