Students are instructed to add drops of test substances to spotting tiles, add drops of beetroot juice indicator, and record the color change in a table to identify if the substance is an acid or alkali based on the beetroot juice turning pinky red in acids and greeny yellow in alkalis. Safety precautions like tying back hair and wearing goggles are emphasized when doing experiments.
