Jelly Bean Investigations

Hi Families,

Today we investigated mixtures and single substances with various solids ( trail mix) and jelly beans.  We put a jelly bean into different liquids and solids including vinegar, sprite, water and salt water.   Check out our results:

The jelly beans dispersed ALL their color to the liquid that they were in, leaving the jelly beans white.  Do you notice the white flakes floating on the top?  They are the remnants of the lettering of STARBURST.    We had a very interesting discussion of what happens when we ingest the jellybean AND its lettering :).

We will be wrapping up our study of matter on Thursday with a test on Friday.  Look for a study guide to come home on Thursday.
