EGGS-periment

Sophie's 'I Wonder' project for school was to test whether different drinks stain teeth. So, we hard boiled some eggs yesterday to use as teeth doubles. Then Sophie was up and dressed at 6:02 AM this morning!!! Here are the pictures from the day:

Supplies ready...
Dropping eggs in different types of drinks...

From left to right in the pic below, the liquids are water, tea (which she brewed herself this morning -- extra dark), Orange Crush soda, chocolate milk, grape juice, Cherry 7UP, Fruit Punch KoolAid, Dr Pepper, V8 Spicy Hot. Sophie's guess was that Dr. Pepper, tea and grape juice would be the leading offenders. The older kids had an Early Release day today, so school got out at noon. After 6 hours of soaking, Sophie took the eggs out...

She really didn't like the V8!!

After taking notes about what they looked like right out of the liquid, Sophie then tested the benefit of brushing!! You can even see the white spots on a couple of the eggs that she had already brushed.

Turned out that grape juice cleaned up OK, but tea and Dr. Pepper drinkers ........BEWARE!!
