Mystery solution

Today in science we realised what was in our four prediction bowls. Some people were surprised about what the solution had left in the four bowls.The sugar went all gooey in the bowl when the water evaporated. Most of the class said that the sugar was jelly but it was not. The salt came out in bigger crystals than Ms Ingham put in the bowl , people in our class said the salt was pretty because it turned into a nice pattern of crystals, there was one bowl that just had water in it and that bowl was clear. Ms Ingham said that she put poison in one bowl but nobody beliefs her, some people thought it was flour but it can't be flour because flour does not dissolve.We had a really fun day.

What is Mrs Ingham up to? First experimenting with cabbage and now salt...

If she wants a proper recipe then maybe I can help. ;-)

Glad you had a fun day though. I am a bit worried that there may be a hint of poison in one of the pots. I think she may be telling a little white lie there......but then again......???
