Procedure
2. take your pH papers and tear them into fourths
3. create a data table with one column being the item tested and the other column being the predicted pH level
4. After predicting all the items' pH level, start testing your first item
5. set out all of your pH strips, and make sure to set them an inch apart on a paper towel
6. take one toothpick and dip it into your first item being tested
7. take the toothpick and put it onto the first pH strip
8. once the pH paper has changed into the color it's supposed to be, compare the colors on the pH scale
9. whatever pH level matches up with the color the pH paper is, record in a data table made just like the predictions one, but change prediction to actual pH level
10. repeat steps 6-9 for the rest of your items being tested
11. clean up your work area and wash your hands
12. take a picture with each item (label showing), pH paper, and pH scale
