Innovating Science® - Blue Bottle Reaction Demonstration

Discover the principle of oxidation-reduction. Compounds that change color as a result of a change in their pH or oxidation state are called indicators. Illustrate this principle by mixing potassium hydroxide and dextrose with methylene blue and introducing oxygen by shaking the flask.

Aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)*

Disciplinary Core Ideas: PS1.A; PS2.B
Performance Expectations: MS-PS1-2; HS-PS1-2
Cross Cutting Concepts: Patterns
Engineering Practices: Analyzing and Interpreting Data

Kit Includes:
