PH Soil

Today we met Luke from the West Lothian ranger services. He talked to us about PH soil. Then we got put into 3 groups.Each group had a different thing. Group 1 had peat soil, group 2 had lemon juice and group 3 had fairy liquid. We all got a cup and put a little bit of liquid or soil into it.Then Luke put some water into each cup. Then we all got an indicator strip. We put them into the water for 30 second to see what colour they would go. After that we checked the little sheet that the teachers had to see what kind of soil it was. The sheet showed the colours that the indicator strip would turn if the soil was acidic or alkaline. I was in group 2 so I did it with fairy liquid. My groups indicator strips turned green which meant that it was alkaline.
