T is for Teeth Experiments

This week we did the old cola and egg experiment to demonstrate the effect cola has on our teeth.  The idea behind this experiment is that if you take a nice white clean egg, representing a tooth and soak it in cola for a long period of time, representing drinking too much soda/not brushing our teeth, then it will discolor the "tooth".  I didn't take a picture this week, so the below pictures are similar.  Ours was actually quite a bit worse (nasty huh!) and ours was cracked as well, representing cavities.  The kids generally talk about this experiment a lot and spend a good amount of their free time observing the egg.
