Science is More Fun With Popsicles

Popsicle Expermient

While studying matter, we did an experiment using popsicles.  Each child was given a twin pop and they broke the popsicle in half.  We placed one popsicle in a cup and we sucked on the other half.  We wanted to see which side of the popsicle melted faster; the one in the cup or the one in our mouth.  The children predicted that the one in our mouth would melt faster.  After a few minutes, we compared the one in our mouths with the one in the cup and we discovered that the one in our mouth was melting much faster.  It took the one in the cup 2 hours to melt and the one in our mouth was gone in about 8 minutes!
