When the paper has changed color compare the color to the pH scale chart,you will find the right shade that is the right pH level.
Write the pH you find and the chart with the corresponding name on your charting paper.
Repeat steps 6-8 until you have finished testing all the substances .
- Once you gather all your information proceed to put it in s presentation.
