When we think about acids and bases, we can find many examples all around us.

Acids:

• Lemon Juice:
  It tastes sour because of citric acid. This is what gives lemonade its yummy zing!

• Vinegar:
  We often use this in our kitchens. It has acetic acid in it, which makes it great for cooking and even cleaning things.

Bases:

• Baking Soda:
  This is a helpful base we use in baking. Plus, it can help keep our fridge smelling fresh!

• Soap:
  Soap is usually a base. It works well to mix with acids on our skin and helps to clean us up.

These everyday items show us just how important acids and bases are in our lives!
