On Friday last week we started our egg shell experiment to see what would happen to the egg shells after being left in different liquids for 3 days. We used the egg shells as a comparison to our teeth. We predicted what liquid would have no change on the egg shell and were not surprised to find that water had no change. We all concluded that water is the best thing to drink for our teeth.
