Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Help my son is in kindergarten and his science fair project is due this Friday, April 9th. He is very interested in the topic "what drinks are bad for your teeth" We thought about doing an egg test, since the egg shell is simular to our teeth. I am totally clueless of what to do and how to guide him. I'm truly don't want to disappoint him.

Hi,

Here are some project ideas using soft drinks on egg shells and chicken bones to mimic tooth decay from sodas, and the protective effects of fluoride on teeth:

I hope these help. I could not find specific Science Buddies project idea that apply here.

Best wishes for a fun science project!

I found a project on the Science Buddies website that is similar to what you are looking for: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/mentorin ... p010.shtml

Also, you should check out our project guide, which will walk you and your son step by step through the science fair process: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... ndex.shtml

Look under "How to Do a Science Fair Project" on the left hand side.

Good luck and let us know if you have more questions!
