Valentine Science

On Wednesday afternoon, our 4th Grade Buddies from Mrs. Melaney's class came to our classroom.  We did an experiment with vinegar, Sprite, and water to see which liquid would dissolve a small candy heart best.  It was fascinating!  We learned that soda dissolves candy hearts best and leaves little bubbles on the surface of the liquid.  Vinegar dissolves the heart, but leaves very little residue in the liquid, and water eventually dissolves the heart and leaves residue in the bottom of the cup.
