Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Hello. I have a problem. I’m doing this project for my science fair at my school, but they no longer sell the kool-aid drink mix singles that this experiment calls for. There a few available online, but it’s like 30$, and that’s way too expensive for Kool-Aid. I was wondering if I could just use the normal packets of kool-aid or if there’s something else I should use.

Hi LauraB100,

I'm assuming that you're working on the project described here:

https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... on#summary

You can use any size package of unsweetened cherry-flavored Kool Aid. Please note that the project procedure calls for making a solution with a 15.6 g Kool Aid package. If you get a different package, you should weigh out 15.6 g of Kool Aid to make your solution.

I hope this helps. Please post again if you have more questions.

A. Norman

Thank you!
