You can keep changing the color back and forth as you make it acidic with the lemon and basic with the baking soda.Īnd once you stir up a glass of Ada’s Color Changing Lemonade, be sure to check out the Tinkering Station for Young Engineers inspired by Rosie Revere, Engineer. We played around with a lemon, the tea, and some baking soda. While you’re sipping on your lemonade, have a little fun with the leftover tea.

Anthocyanin has a unique capability to act as an indicator. Butterfly pea flowers. Butterfly pea flowers contain a vivid blue pigment called anthocyanin. There’s a very special ingredient in this lemonade. What’s the Science Behind the Color Change? So go whip up a glass and then we’ll talk science. Lemonade.Īnd because we love color-changing science, we added a really cool feature to that sweet and sour lemonade. So we decided to do a much sweeter smelling project. And really got us thinking about those yucky smells. Illustrator David Robert’s drawings always capture that wonder of kids trying things for the first time. But, this time, her experiments lead to even more stink and get her into trouble! Learn more about the book here.

Like her classmates, builder Iggy and inventor Rosie, scientist Ada, has a boundless imagination and has always been hopelessly curious. He has a knack for building structures using unexpected materials, like a tower built from dirty diapers When his second grade teacher Miss Lila Greer declares her dislike of architecture, Iggy is presented with a challenge. We got inspired to do a little science when Andrea Beatty, the author of Rosie Revere, Engineer and Iggy Peck, Architectsent me her latest book, Ada Twist, Scientist. Iggy Peck, Architect Iggy Peck, Architect Summary Iggy Peck is a builder.
