We have developed a new experimental program on catalysis that can be used for students at first and secondary schools levels. We used zeolites, i.e., typical solid acid, as catalyst to synthesize dyes such as fluorescein and phenolphthalein. This synthesis had been done using concentrated sulfuric acid as catalyst. The utilization of solid acids in spite of sulfuric acid is very important in the point of view from the green sustainable chemistry. Thus developed experiment can be done easily and safely at various educational facilities, i.e., science museums, science centers, and first and secondary schools as a student experiment.
