Soda Vs. Egg Experiment For Kids

Currently, a Polar Vortex is reeking havoc on the majority of the United States. Schools, State agencies, and major stores have been closed for almost a week due to extreme temperatures.

Kids can get extremely bored being cooped up all day, and I'm sure most parents have pulled out all the stops to keep their kids bordem at an all-time low.

How about learning healthy brushing habits by doing a fun experiment?

Supplies:

• ADA-accepted toothpaste
• ADA-accepted toothbrush
• Hard-boiled egg
• Cup
• Dark soda or juice 

 Tell your children that they will be doing an experiment to see what happens when the outer shell of the egg is exposed to the soda or juice. *The egg is the replica of a tooth*

• Submerge the hard-boiled egg into a glass of soda or juice and let it sit overnight. 
• Take bets on what will happen to the egg.
•  In the morning remove the egg from the soda or juice and let the children examine the egg. 
• What's the color look like?
• Is the egg as hard as it was the night before?
• Explain that this is what happens to your teeth when you eat/drink sugary products.
• Now load up the egg with toothpaste and try to scrub away the strains!

Hopefully, this is a fun experiment for the kids and one they will never forget!
