Dissolving Peep Experiment

This week we did a dissolving Peep experiment. We put Peeps in 5 different liquids and observed which liquid would dissolve it the fastest!

We put the Peeps in laundry detergent, apple juice, vinegar, water, and soda. After the first 3 hours, we already saw a small difference in the Peeps. The Peep in the soda had turned completely brown, which was a great opportunity to touch on again how unhealthy soda is for us. The 2nd day of the experiment the Peep in the vinegar had already started dissolving.

We were a little grossed out with the smell and the feeling of the results, but we loved observing the peeps everyday. The vinegar dissolved so much we barely could get it out of the cup!

2nd Grade Wax Museum

Today, we went upstairs to visit Ms.Golubski's 2nd grade class. The students had put on a Wax Museum presentation. Each child was responsible to portray a famous American and share a little bit about themselves and their history. K-C was starstruck by all the famous people we saw today!
