Idea Bank - Bromothymol Blue: The Demo We All Do!

The Science Teacher -- November 2005

Often science teachers perform demonstrations only to discover that students have already seen the experiment in a previous course. Teachers should take advantage of these opportunities to showcase the interconnectedness of different science disciplines. One example of an inquiry-based demonstration used across grade levels involves Bromothymol Blue (BTB). Repeating a demonstration is not a waste of time when its relevance is highlighted across disciplines and extensions are encouraged.
