Effects of drinks (acid) on teeth
Posted: Sat Nov 26, 2022 8:20 am
Hello,
My daughter is in 4th grade and wants to do her science fair project on the effects of acid on teeth. (Or color of different drinks) our problem is - what to use ? Is an egg ok? Also what measurable data for our graphs. The color or pics of damage are neat to see but it doesn’t help us with measurable data. What would the science method behind it.
We thought of possibly checking different acids on teeth for ex citric acid or phosphoric acid. Would that be enough?
Checking the ph in the drinks.
Possibly weighing the egg if egg is acceptable. We want to make sure we can get the data or quantify. Or should we go with a different project all together.
Any advice on how to make this project work? Quantify or scientific method?
Possibly diffeeent ideas?
