Dissolving Experiment

Today the children took part in making a prediction about which type of water a candy heart will dissolve in faster.  They learned that the word dissolve means to break apart into tiny pieces.  The candy hearts were placed in hot, room temperature and cold water.  The children checked on the experiment periodically through the afternoon to see how if the candies were dissolved yet. About half of the children predicted the candy would dissolve in hot water and they were right.
