Our website has a number of scientific experiments utilising
the DrDAQ unit. The example below uses the DrDAQ with
the addition of a pH probe to measure the pH scale over the
entire pH scale of a range of common drinks.
Recently dentists have begun warning about the dangers of
drinking acidic drinks. Teenagers, they suggest, who drink
large amounts of fizzy ‘pop’ drinks suffer from tooth erosion
whereby the enamel covering of the tooth is dissolved by
the acid in the drink. Athletes are also at risk from drinking
sports drinks.
The recommended ‘safe’ level for the pH of drinks is 5.5,
and anything below this can promote tooth erosion. This
experiment looks at the relative pH values of different drinks
and can be used to determine whether a particular drink is
‘safe’ according to the above criteria. It can also be used as
a good introduction to further studies into tooth decay and
enamel stripping.
This experiment is suitable for ages 14+ and requires some
knowledge of the pH measurement.
