What to do:

1.  Discuss or write down some predictions of what you think will happen to each heart in each environment.
2. Fill each cup with a liquid and label it.
3. Create a data table and set times to check changes in your candy (1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes) This is optional depending on age.
4. Observe what happens, does it sink or float? Did it get soft? Disintegrate, Dissolve, Melt?
