Question
Which drink will be healthier for your teeth
Water?
Milk?
Orange Juice?
Lemonade?

We used chalk instead of using a real tooth!

Hypothesis

My hypothesis is that Water will be the most

healthy for your teeth.
I think Lemonade will be least healthy for your
teeth

Materials

1% Milk

Water

Orange Juice

Lemonade

4 drink glasses

4 two inch pieces of chalk

Experiment

We put the chalk in the different drinks

We let the chalk soak for 3 days before
removing it from the drink
We broke them to see which was the easiest
to break and which was the hardest to break

Observations

The chalk put into the water and lemonade

sank to the bottom immediately
The chalk sank in the orange juice after 40
minutes
The chalk in the milk sank after 65 minutes

Results

The chalk in the milk

was hardest to break
The chalk in the

Conclusions

My conclusion is that milk is healthiest for your

teeth
My hypothesis was incorrect
I think milk is better than water because it has
calcium which makes your tooth strong
