Instructions:

Dear Students and Parents,

In the classroom we have been learning about bones and how to build strong bones. To build off of that we will do an experiment that will last a week. For this experiment we will be putting one chicken leg bone into a glass of milk and another chicken leg bone into a glass of coke. Before the experiment starts the students will write their predictions on what they believe will happen to each bone and why, which should be 4-5 sentences. Each day the students will take both bones out and will examine them to see if any changes have occurred. Then they will write down the changes they see that have occurred in the bone that was in the milk and the bone that was in the coke. The recording of these changes in each bone should be 2 sentences. At the end of the experiment the students will write a one page paper discussing the changes they saw in the bones and talk about whether their predictions were right or wrong and why.
