Come discover the color changing properties of cabbage plants in the garden. We all admire different colored plant leaves that make nature so beautiful and vibrant. Come learn how we can use the common cabbage plant to identify chemical properties of common liquids through colorful chemical reactions. All participants will make and take their very own supply of color indicators to use for demonstrations and/or hands on science labs in their classroom.
