On Wednesday, organic chemistry professor Kasey Clear led activities for a group of elementary students to engage them in chemistry. This was conducted at the Center for Civic Innovation, right across from our Center for Civil Heritage in downtown South Bend. Clear used dry ice to increase the carbon dioxide content in water, thus acidifying it, which the children could observe from the color change of a pH indicator - after having used the indicator themselves to test the pH of common items in the home.
