Description
This lab was designed to be used by 5th Graders with our Kindergarten Science Buddies But would work well as a lab with Grades PreK-4. I have specifically added graphics to the instructions to account for the reading ability of younger students. This has worked well in helping students set up, track, and make solid conclusions about a lab. I have done a lab similar to this with vinegar to look at eggshells, but It was fascinating for students to see what sugar did to an eggshell over time and make a hypothesis about what it might do to one's teeth.
Bonus: I added the amount of sugar in each item to a Ziplock bag and set it near the lab area. This way, students could see exactly how much sugar there was in soda and certain liquids,

CCSSCCRA.W.7
Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects based on focused questions, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation.
NGSS2-PS1-1
Plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties. Observations could include color, texture, hardness, and flexibility. Patterns could include the similar properties that different materials share.
NGSS2-PS1-2
Analyze data obtained from testing different materials to determine which materials have the properties that are best suited for an intended purpose. Examples of properties could include, strength, flexibility, hardness, texture, and absorbency. Assessment of quantitative measurements is limited to length.
