30 Days of Science - Day 9

I couldn't get my camera to focus on this very well.  This is a broken tooth in front of a tooth holder my son got at school. 

When Megan lost one of her teeth the other month, Luke begged her to let him buy her tooth.  He even offered her $10!  Even though the Tooth Fairy pays considerably less than Luke would have, Megan wouldn't sell because she was really excited to write the Tooth Fairy a note and ask her what she did with the teeth. 

Luke wanted the tooth to test the effects of soda pop on teeth.  Fortunately he lost his own tooth recently, and after it fell out, it split into two!  Now he can do two experiments!  He did a similar experiment a while back with chicken bones.  He put one bone in root beer and the other in Coke.  He expected for the one in Coke to make the bone become soft and bendable.  That didn't really happen but the one in Coke did have some weird stuff come off of it.  It was certainly rotting away faster than the one in root beer.  Gross.  When we know the results of this tooth experiment, I'll put the results in the comments. 

By the way... the Tooth Fairy did answer Megan.  Her one word answer to Megan's question was "castles".  It was written with something that looked like sparkly silver glitter glue.
